Great tidbits in there - don't give up after the first few... "She really over-reacts whenever she catches me wearing her underwear." |

Utterly fabulous. Love it! Just had an argument with my missus so this is welcome comic relief and much needed context! |

so ... he says, "I'm here merely stating the facts, without bias or embellishment; a simple camera pointed at the scene, recording it with complete neutrality." and then starts stories off with: "Because of my selfless desire to further the vocabulary of medical science, it would delight me to the toes if everyone could adopt the use of the phrase 'Margret's Syndrome'. This affliction being used to signify a condition characterised by a profound and chronic 'point blindness'." i don't know ... is it just me? |

No, lots of other people don't get the jokes either |

man, some of the stuff just makes me crack up.. "This is the first thing Margret said to me today; I walked downstairs into the kitchen and she handed me a yoghurt and said 'Here, eat this, it's out of date.' Excellent. "... funny funny stuff... |

don't worry about it ... i'm almost finished trudging through the whole article ... nono =) it's not that i don't get the jokes ... it's just that it seemed to me they don't exactly conform to his disclaimer that he is merely stating the facts without bias or embellishment when actually, i felt a great deal of writing was devoted to a negative portrayal of his girlfriend. blame the english classes they make me sit through for that overanalysis of something that was pretty interesting and enlighting ... |

"...and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something..." (Thanks, Emo) |

littleblink, um, the point of claiming a lack of bias is part of the joke, man. I blame the English classes, myself. |

littleblink, I think that's all part of the joke. When has anyone, ever, within the context of their own relationship, truly stated "the facts without bias or embellishment"? It's simply not possible, and it's a joke in itself that anyone should claim to do it, especially when followed by the obviously biased account that follows! |

the beauty of this is the completeness to it, a few would have been nice, but the length of it... poor sod! |

i guess it would make sense if it was a joke ... i apologize for my confusion then ... i guess i've been a bit resilient to british humour =p took me quite a while to figure out Monty Python ... |
