My wife is a clever girl, but unfortunately (or fortunately for me
) she comes out with some absofuckinglute beauties. There are a few I could put up here, but I'll start with this most recent one.
We were at the Leeds Festival at the weekend, walking over to the arena to watch a band called Noah and The Whale, some group I've never heard of but thought I'd give them a try anyway. This is the conversation on the way -
Mrs Macca: "What a strange name they've got. I wonder how they got it?"
Me: "Just a guess like, but it might be some sort of Biblical reference."
Mrs Macca: "What do you mean?"
Me: "Well you know, Noah, old man, bushy beard, built an ark, animals went in two by two?"
Mrs Macca: "What about the whale bit then?"
Me:"Didn't someone get swallowed by a whale in the Bible? What was his name now? Wasn't it Jo..."
As I was about to finish "Jonah", I was interrupted by this little pearl.
Mrs Macca: "Pinocchio?"
Me: "Oh I must have missed that. Was that the fucking Gospel according to Geppetto?"
Mrs Macca: "Oh fuck off. I thought you said Disney film!"
Me: "Fucking right you did love, fucking right."
I nearly ruptured my fucking kidneys laughing, and can't for the life of me remember what the band sounded like.
