    Apparently not true on either count...

    Or if theory applied to Crane Flies, which is what we called Daddy Long Legs when we were kids:

    An eminent entomologist was on Radio 4 last week and busted that myth - only reason I know.

    We also called my dad ‘Daddy Long Legs’ as he had long legs. Compared to us anyway. He always thought they were long too. Turns out that also wasn’t especially true since he was 6’2” and they were only 32” inside leg, which counts as regular length in most shops for 34/36” waist trousers*
    *factoid from my extensive experience of buying M&S suits.

  3. I heard about a bloke who found a genie in a bottle -

    he had one wish

    - he wished that his penis touched the floor

    - the genie chopped off his legs

    It’s impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. Your eyes close automatically, to keep them in your head.

    I met a man who wore incredibly small hats. When I asked him why only small hats fit him, he replied “ I just left the pub, and found a small unusual bottle in the gutter containing a female genie.I released a her from the bottle, and she granted me one thing in repayment. Me, being a *******ed said,”I wouldn’t mind a little head...”...








    Coat time?

    I’m sure you’re right. As a radio presenter though he just annoys me, talking or “singing” over records, or playing records and not bothering to tell you what they are. He’s not my cup of Darjeeling at all.

    The force of your head going forwards. Your eyes would come out, if they never closed.
