You know your "Sherlock" obsession is bad when...

There is a building site directly at my house. When I open the door I can hear the workers talking. They sound Serbian. And each time I get a flashback of the torture scene and the bad guy getting to know his wife has an affair with the coffin maker. 😂

Now I am wondering if the coffin maker is the one making Molly's in TFP. He certainly gets too distracted to do the job well, doesn't he?

But we have to give him credit that he managed to escape the Serbian torturer, I bet he secretly has protective annoying big brother too.

Dare I ask what the news item was?

 

[besleybean]

I'm assuming about the current dire situation in Afghanistan.

I'll just leave you to your deductions... 

[besleybean]

It wasn't a difficult leap!

I had one today, not politically correct, I'm afraid.

There is a Mum that drops off her kid at school each day.

She is smallish, but has an enormous cleavage!

She walked by me and the Janitor one day and I whispered to him: sheesh, she wouldn't drown.

He laughed and confessed he'd had a similar thought.

I spotted her today and said to the Janitor: there's your pal.

He replied:  Which pal?

To which I responded: the Woman.

Which Woman?

(I just couldn't help myself): The Woman woman!

I don't get the bit about not drowning though... 😅

Fat is less dense than other bodily tissues, so a person with a lot of fatty tissue near their face supposedly has a built-in life preserver.  (Bev's comment is a cliche considered quite witty in certain -- mostly male -- circles.)

Added:  Didn't notice your laughing face till after I wrote the above -- will leave it up in case anyone really is unfamiliar with the saying.

I really was unfamiliar with it and laughing at myself for being clueless. So thank you!

Face? Ha.

Big boobs, good floaters and yes I had assumed it was a jokey puzzlement!

 So maybe that's the reason why I was always a fairly good swimmer...?

Couldn't hurt!

I am. I float on the surface like those folks on that photos from the Dead Sea. Having a quite "windy" guts my also add to this effect.
A propos: the thing about big boobs - sometimes they look like inflated. Not mine though.

I had forgotten about this old fave thread and so thought I would revive it with this post.

I am keen on crosswords and being a Holmesian just gave me the 6 letter solution to:

Break, pause.

Took me a while, but could you possibly mean

Spoiler

hiatus?

(At first I was trying to think of words used in episode titles and in dialog, but getting nowhere.)

Yay!

There are multiple levels of depth in this post!

I like to think that is said of all of my posts! Ha. X 😉

Hii!

I have to admit you have ruined me. I can't see an owl or Mycroft without associating them with you
