Have I been asleep all winter- is it April 1st again? |
Reminds me of the story told by Ken Dood about the famous Yorkshireman who was walking home from the pup one night in the dark and saw that the eyes of a cat reflected on-coming lights. "It was because of this that the gentleman in question went on to invent the reflective road studs that we know as cats eyes".
"Just think, if the cat had been walking in the opposite direction he'd have probably invented the pencil sharpener!"
