So if you were an honest working class family and were given two following questions.
Which one of them would offend the classification of you?

a) You'll be paid your exotic holidays.
b) You won't be invited to a garden party.

From Emmaus, I'd carve the salad.

Can you rephrase the question? I don't understand what you mean, or your follow up.

vodkaredbullgirl · 18/09/2023 17:30

Yes I work thanks

Ah, the eternal struggle of us honest working class folks! It's a real Sophie's Choice, isn't it? I mean, on one hand, "a" promises us exotic holidays, and who doesn't want to sip coconut water on a tropical beach while being fanned with palm fronds? But then again, "b" threatens to exclude us from a garden party! I mean, who needs fancy soirées with cucumber sandwiches and polite conversations about the weather, right?

I say we create our own garden party and call it the "We're Too Honest for Fancy Shindigs So Let's Barbecue in the Backyard Extravaganza!" We'll invite all the exotic holiday lovers, and the only dress code will be "comfortable." Just remember to bring your sunscreen and a potato salad because we're not giving up our dream of exotic holidays or missing out on good food! 🌴🍔🌭 #WorkingClassRoyalty

I haven’t laughed so much in a very long time.
Thank you 💐

Can't tell you how much I needed that.

@AlrightThen

Your posts are as clear as mud. Are you alright?

Hooples · 18/09/2023 17:48

Is this a riddle?

slithytoveisascientist · 18/09/2023 17:49

It was a beaker.

Or a Korean grandma.

Or a Mexican house thief.

usernother · 18/09/2023 17:50

'A) you'll be paid your exotic holidays' doesn't make sense.

CheshireCat1 · 18/09/2023 17:52

I think you need to reread your original post and rephrase it.

GoryBory · 18/09/2023 18:26

Are you English OP?

Your wording is difficult to understand.

Garden parties or exotic holidays aren’t things that many working class people encounter.

Echobelly · 18/09/2023 18:28

Those aren't questions.

piglet81 · 18/09/2023 18:33

No, I’M Spartacus

TGGreen · 18/09/2023 18:33

Only the angst ridden MCer could create such bullshit.

Oysterbabe · 18/09/2023 18:39

What the fuck are you on about?

Boujibroke · 18/09/2023 18:41

Here for the laughs Grin

Also op I haven't a clue what you are on about.

Firsttimecaller · 18/09/2023 18:42

What's the difference between a duck?

Presil · 18/09/2023 18:44

Are you the queen?

Shinyandnew1 · 18/09/2023 18:47

But they aren’t questions…

countvoncount · 18/09/2023 18:52

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon OP

hdbs17 · 18/09/2023 18:53

Two questions?

Neither of those are questions....

Silvers11 · 18/09/2023 18:57

Another one completely confused here too!!

BaconAndAvocado · 18/09/2023 19:24

🤣🤣🤣

Cupcakekiller · 18/09/2023 19:25

What defines an exotic holiday?

Does getting pissed and smoking in someone's garden count as a garden party? Or a BBQ?
