Words failed me..

You know those occasions when you’re having a conversation and you suddenly realise you’re dealing with one of life’s ****ing idiots?
In the canteen today, one of my fellow employees kept playing with his ear. Being a curious soul, and worried that he might be about to flick a ball of earwax into my salad, I asked what was wrong.
He said “the honey is drying up and it’s really starting to itch.”
I said “forgive me for prying, but why have you got honey in your ear?”
He said “I thought it would get rid of the wax. Turns out though that I should have used olive oil instead of honey. I got confused coz they look similar.”
I said “But why on earth would you think that honey would help with earwax?”
He looked at me with a stunned expression and said “Well, Winnie the Pooh ain’t deaf is he?”

By the way, I caught a bit of EastEnders this week for the first time in ages. When did Phil Mitchell become a bad Phil Collins lookalike act?
