So my friend Samantha came to see us over. We had a great time. While she was here she told us a story about our friend Helen. Not the Helen in Ireland but the Helen who's 30th we went to earlier on in the year. See here and here.

So Helen, bless her, has always been a little erm... silly with her words. She doesn't mean to do it but she comes out with some classics and this latest is just the best so far.

She works for a recruitment agency and has to email many companies with offers of staff. She then speaks to these companies and asks them how they feel about the staff offers.

So recently these companies have been saying they're not receiving her emails but she's sure she's sent them.

She turns to Sam, in the middle of shopping, and very loudly says "Maybe I should I ask them to check their jam and spunk folders?"

Sam is asthmatic and this latest Helenism nearly killed her, as it did Brad and I when the story was recounted to us.
