A Public Service Announcement

From Me To You

Although The Girlfriend and my family don’t understand it, many people seem to find me funny, or at least mildly amusing, and will often comment how great it must be to meet me in person.

In many instances though, they seem to be disappointed, partly because I am much shorter and balder than what they expected, but also because I tend to be a quiet and humble soul, rather different to the image they had of me.

In the interests of transparency then, I thought it would be fitting to set the record straight here today. If you met me at a dinner party, braai, or wild orgy, and I came across as a rather quiet, introverted and slightly overweight young man, rest assured that it’s not because I am shy.

It’s simply because I am bored and am mentally plotting how I’m going to kill you.

That is all.

Oakes signing off.

    Sounds totally fascinating! Who wouldn’t want to introduce themselves to a balding, slightly overweight, shy, semi-amusing freak who is plotting ways in which to kill you?
