    Are you absolutely positive those socks are brown? Once, I thought my Uncle Tommy was wearing brown socks, but when I looked at them closely, they were just very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark orange.

    Three Christmases ago, we visited my nana as per usual on Christmas Day. We knocked the door, she opened it, and said "Happy Christmas! Oh Lord, d'you know who's dead down the road?"
