All this flexing of literary mussels ... it makes my ice water.
I got a crick in my neck, but these were punny.
It's in Evil eDNA's too! (hoping people will remember Evil Edna)

I put the decorations up today and, as usual, I now have a sore throat. I think it's tinselitis.
My problem was the other end - I dropped some on my foot and it left me with toesilitis!
Hope no one suffers from hollytosis...
Only the mistletoad. No-one would want to kiss him
I'm sure you look forward to Christmas, Rosey. You can hoe, hoe, hoe as much as you like.
Nowt wrong with the Mistletoad, bless him - he bought me a book for Christmas, but I'd reddit!

Perfect. Do you have to have a membership?
Nah!! - I ain't got one!! :-)
I stole it; or rather, I saved the link.
I googled the emoji - snip tooled it - then opened it in paint and added the groan - then uploaded it to photobucket to get an HTML and you just nick it willy nilly!! HUH!! ;-)

Gosh you're clever, Flo.It just took me ten minutes to get a YouTube video to play for my class!
See..... I told you I was Superwoman masquerading as a common pleb - now perhaps you'll believe me! ;-)Me Christmas 1988
Wow! I thought the vision in red I spotted flying over the house last Christmas Eve was Father Christmas, but now I'm not so sure.
I went on my District Nursing rounds in that costume..... good job I didn't wear it on Boxing Day too, as some idiot bumped into my car and we both had to be breathalysed!!!
1988, a year that will live in imbibery.
Our council painter did a bad job of painting our porch black - there was gaps and blobs and runs everywhere. I told him to go - and never darken my doorstep again.
Sounds like the same one who painted my front door.... from your description - it certainly rings a bell!
Oh Hen and Dalmatian! Thats awful!
There's more, as Jimmy Cricket oft says . . . The hairdresser to the Halle Orchestra was visiting, and cutting the orchestra's hair before a big performance. Four opportunist thieves saw his bag unguarded through an open window, and nicked it. All they got was a packet of Typhoo. The headlines in the Manchester Evening News that night was 'Halle Barber and the 4 Tea Thieves'.
After Quasimodo’s death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word throughout the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed.The Bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process.
After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had decided to call it a day……….. just then, an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bellringers’ job.
The bishop was incredulous …………….”you have no arms!”
“No matter” said the man………..”Observe!”
……….. and he began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon.
The bishop listened in astonishment; convinced he had finally found a replacement for Quasimodo ………….. But suddenly…………….while rushing forward to strike a bell….the armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to his death in the street below.
The stunned bishop rushed down the belfry to his side.
When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before.
As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked………
“Bishop, who was this man?”
“I don’t know his name”, the bishop sadly replied……….
……….but his face rings a bell”
WAIT! WAIT!…………..There’s more………………..
The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless bellringer ……..the bishop continued his interviews for the bellringer of Notre Dame.
The first man to approach him said, “Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor armless wretch that fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday, I pray that you honour his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty
The bishop agreed to give the man an audition and, as the armless man’s brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell………he groaned…………clutched his chest……….twirled round…..and died on the spot!!
Two monks, hearing the bishops’ cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side…………
“What has happened?”…………..
“Who is this man?”……….the first monk asked breathlessly.
“I don’t know his name”, sighed the distraught bishop, but……………
(……………..Wait for it……………..)
……………………He’s a dead ringer for his brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
