I was told twice to not dish up big amounts of ice cream and jelly....
(Yeah right, we had loads to give out)
By the time I went outside,
I was given the daggers by the other outside staff. (Because I was late coming out!)
I just stood there,washing my hands with some alcohol rub staring back.... 
*Two weeks to go*....I sing...
I went and visited my dad, who had to flu jab 2 days ago, and is still suffering.
I nip down to Morrison's to get some supplies.
Drops the shopping and out I go to work.
 I play up one of the workers..
I take off my jumper, he walks through the kitchen, I reply to him:
*"It nearly was a sight for your sore eyes."
He laughed.
I put on my cleaning gloves, he went past.
*"I asked him to bend over as I was going to probe you!"
He laughed.
I can still make people laugh.
