Something my grandfather said the other day....
This is true.
I was visiting my grandad a few days ago. Due to this extreme illness some years ago, he was left housebound and he has to take a lot of medication. He can't walk very far at all, but he can get around the house and stuff - just not for a little while solid.
As some of you may know, the British weather lately has been fabulous. I said, "Grandad, why don't you go and sit outside in the garden where it's nice?"
And he said, "Oh, no, I couldn't do that, flower. Don't you sit out in the sun either."
And I asked, "Why not?"
He looked at me with a deadly serious expression, and said:
"Because on all of these tablets, it says "Keep out of direct sunlight.""

Hey Rora!
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Hi Rora!
He was joking? Or serious?

He said it, and he didn't realise what he had said. We were all laughing at him, and he was like, "what?" and he really thought the directions for storage were directed at him. It was so funny.
Hehehe...
