Sing Song and Virgin Vibes

My son called me up the other day at 6am his local time, making his half asleep mother dial the numbers and all. He was very excited as he had learnt a new song. Now, my son has until recently been half deaf due to damage to his ear drums caused by a serious illness a few years ago. He had recently undergone surgery to repair his damaged ear drums and has since recovered most of his hearing. He has been not exactly a lark learning to pray, I was worried for a while that he had gotten his mother's singing genes. Well.. he called and said "Dad, I learnt a new song!" And he proceeded to sing. I was very pleasantly surprised that he sang the whole song, lyrics and all in tune and in the same key!! I was so happy to learn of his new found vocal prowess, I could not even remember the name of the song that he sang, only that it was a Christmas song. Cool! There is hope.

Cousin Jade and her boyfriend were walking down the street in Brisbane, when they spotted Richard Branson. Jade whispered to her boyfriend.. look its Richard Branson, to whom he replied; who?? Hmmm.. he needs to read more papers..

Anyways, she goes "its Richard Branson of Virgin!", to which he very loudly replied, "He is a 50 some VIRGIN??" And this was within earshot of the fellow! Nyuk nyuk.. Poor sod.
