janne_dJust because, I am going to share some of my favourite PG Wodehouse quotes. The man was a genius and is responsible for more moments of public uncontrollable laughter on my part than any other author. (Mr Pratchett is an honourable runner-up).
"Pongo shuddered, accordingly, and in addition to shuddering uttered a sharp quack of anguish such as might have proceeded from some duck which, sauntering in a reverie beside a duck-pond, had inadvertently stubbed its toe on a broken soda-water bottle."
"The face was drawn, the eyes haggard, the general appearance that of one who has searched for the leak in life's gaspipe with a lighted candle."
"The only thing that prevented a father's love from faltering was the fact that there was in his possession a photograph of himself at the same early age, in which he, too, looked like a homicidal fried egg."
There now. If that doesn't help to spread joy and laughter, I don't know what would.
