Pineapple

So its a quiet Wednesday evening, around 8.50pm and I think to myself…. something is wrong. Something is definately not right here yet I could not think what it was. It wasn’t that I had no clothes on. It wasn’t that I was listening to Peter Andre’s Mysterious Girl on infinite loop in Windows Media Player. No, it wasn’t even that I was trawling eBay for Justin Bieber posters. It finally dawned on me.

I didn’t have a pineapple.

The realisation of my lack of pineapple chilled me to the core. I called several close friends and family and told them not to be alarmed. Not to panic. Everything was going to be ok. It was so disturbing in fact, that I had to rectify the situation. Right there and then.

I jumped in my car (after putting some clothes on), and headed for the local ASDA, hoping and praying that they had pineapples. They did…

For £1!



I was in luck, so I picked up my pineapple and all was good. It was beautiful, from Costa Rica and was sweet and juicy. So the label said.

All was good until I became complacent. The pineapple took advantage. First it was little things here and there, like using my computer when I went to get some food (with even worse taste in music than me!)

but then I went for a shower and came back to find this

“Using my headphones?! Drinking my cider!?”



I’d had enough and I tried to drag the pineapple off the bed and show the business end of a fruit knife but in doing so, it tripped me over and smashed me over the head with the cider bottle and ran off.

I haven’t got a pineapple anymore.

Mystery Man

I asked a member of my family the other day if they knew who Bruce Lee was. The answer I got left me speechless – not because I was awed by their general knowledge or anything, but because I was laughing so much I was physically unable to speak.

According to them, Bruce Lee is infact Batman. The ledgendary caped superhero who drives a sweet car, might I add. I mean, cmon, if you owned the Batmobile, you’re set for life.

Anyway, so Bruce Lee is Batman, and upon my laughing fit, they assumed it was the wrong answer and attempted to cover it up by getting the right one. This was an excellent plan, and would have been sheer brilliance, had they actually got the right answer…

So the next suggestion was that Bruce Lee was Batman’s Butler (I’m being serious!). This guess was followed by even more laughter upon which this poor, unfortunate individual decided to dig an even deeper hole by saying:

“Oh no! Its that guy from the Sixth Sense isn’t it!!!”

*Me slaps forehead and dies laughing* No dear, thats Bruce Willis…”Oh”, came the sheepish reply. “Any other guesses?” I asked…

“Oh wait, wasn’t he in Friends?!”

Cue me with a mental image of Bruce Lee appearing on the set of Friends. Oh how I roffled.

So for those of you who don’t know, take note: Bruce Lee was a ledgendary martial arts expert and was famous in a couple of films which were popular outside of China. He was well known for his great strength, skill and speed, and also easily recognised for the amusing chicken noises he made when fighting…Check out the video clip of his “One Inch Punch” and if you can, the films “Way of the Dragon” and “Fist of Fury”. Lee unfortunately died at an early age but is still considered to be one of the most influential people who brought martial arts into mainstream films. For more information see the Wikipedia page:
