Another submission today from my Dad, cheers :D

- People who, on hearing the punchline of a joke, insist on explaining it back.
- People who, on seeing an art work of mine ask 'what is it meant to be?
- Strangers who come up to me in the street and greet me like a long lost brother (this really worries me!)
- People who swear in front of my wife.
- Hairs.
