No-one could ever be more amused by the juxtaposition of these two blog entries than myself. I should add a word of immediate apology to anyone who is, at this moment, rolling around on the floor in paroxysms of undiluted mirth. Special and very sincere apologies to anyone in this extreme category for whom the release of bodily fluids becomes a consequence. Please let me know, and I will happily provide some moist wipes, or, perhaps a warm towel or two.
So what's amusing? Well, one very serious posting about a major change in direction for my life, and then one showing a picture of a large-breasted gingerbread woman and a rather gifted gingerbread man.
Actually, it may not be all that funny. It's more like a cheap visual gag. What raises it to new heights is when I reveal that it was the picture on a card given to me bearing the simple and heartwarming inscription:
“Thank you for being you.”
In order to preserve some small sense of intrigue, I have decided not to tell you who it was from.
Thank you for reading this blog entry. I can't avoid the vague feeling that I have been busy messing around trying to be funny and yet failed to make any kind of relevant point.
Kinda sums me up right now.
Well, I fell for the cheap visual gag. Thanks. :-)

I must say that, after the sober and considered content of your previous blog, this comes as a shocking and downright appaling violation of all that I hold dear. If I wanted to see a gentleman's plimmy-tube or a lady's tuppence - or her globes of ambrosia for that matter - fashioned out of gingery biscuit, I'd jolly well watch Channel 4. I will not be pleasuring myself with your passages again, sir.

Puts her hand on her ha'penny (whoever told you it was a tuppence was guilty of gross hyperbole)and begs the funny people to stop making her laugh...or at least give her time to recover in between bouts :-)
