Do not exceed the dose

Having just returned from a fortnight in St Lucia with my wife during our wedding anniversary, I've had a mini epiphany.

At the hotel, the guests I engaged with commented on how refreshingly positive, crazy, funny I was and this was echoed by the staff at the hotel. I was asked a few separate times if I did comedy on the stage! Each time my wife rolls her eyes!

On the way through the airport I started joking around with one of the checkin staff at St Lucia airport - she asked my wife if I am always like this and my wife gave a weary nod lol. The member of staff said how refreshing it is to see and that i had brightened up her day.

Whilst embarking on the plane we were at the back of a long queue when the same member of staff beckoned to us and let us through another gate after catching my attention.

Trouble is I can take it to far and exceed the recommended dose (if there is one) and then it p***** my wife and the kids off. Banter for me is how I am and how ill always be so keep it up and have a fantastic Saturday. Nick XX

Thanks Nick, it's good to know that I'm not alone in my acquired comedy super hero powers 😆

What a great super power to have!

Better than making others fed up. I was always so blunt I upset countless people and had no idea why.

I have endless patience apparently, which is no bad thing 😇
