“I’ve just been on a once in a lifetime holiday ... never again!”

I made a twat of myself asking where they went 😞

Yes. It's a Tim Vine joke: www.google.com/amp/s/inews.co.uk/light-relief/jokes/tim-vine-best-jokes-and-one-liners/amp/

yep but it's easier to get a joke when it's written down. If it was said in a deadpan way, I'd probably have asked the same thing!

It is funny!

TheJellyBabyMadeMeDoIt · 30/08/2019 19:37

I'd have fallen for it and then got it micro-seconds after voicing concern

TheRealShatParp · 30/08/2019 19:38

I get the joke, but because it’s not funny I wouldn’t have realised at the time and would have asked the same thing.

RedForShort · 30/08/2019 19:39

Get it, just not funny so wouldn't consider it a joke.

PositiveVibez · 30/08/2019 19:41

I think it's quite witty.

DottyDotDot81 · 30/08/2019 19:41

It was written down - in an aspergers forum on Facebook. I seem to be the only one that didn’t get it! Was it really obvious?

bellalou1234 · 30/08/2019 19:41

I dont get it.

Freddiefox · 30/08/2019 19:42

I don’t get it!

User344772734481882445 · 30/08/2019 19:42

Haha!!! Sounds like a joke my DH would make!! (Don't worry, no-one laughs at his jokes!!)

BayandBlonde · 30/08/2019 19:43

It's witty but not a belly laugh

BayandBlonde · 30/08/2019 19:44

@Freddiefox

If you only do something once in a lifetime, you're never going to do it again

museumum · 30/08/2019 19:44

I think it’s quite amusing in a low key smile way not laughing out loud way.

1CantPickAName · 30/08/2019 19:45

😂

DottyDotDot81 · 30/08/2019 19:45

It just threw me that even in an aspergers group I still end up looking like a dickhead

@Freddiefox
Once in a lifetime, people only have one lifetime. So they won't be going on that holiday again

Aberhonddu · 30/08/2019 19:46

Cross post by me there

MakeItRain · 30/08/2019 19:48

Don't feel bad. Yes it's a joke but equally it might well have been seriously meant. Asking where they went was fine!

SouthernComforts · 30/08/2019 19:52

Don't feel bad! I once saw a friend post a pic of a tv on fb for sale saying "£100 good condition except the volume buttons don't work, but for that price you can't turn it down" and I offered to buy it Blush

Freddiefox · 30/08/2019 19:52

@Aberhonddu

I can see that, but why did the op make a twat of herself asking where they went?

BlueThesaurusRex · 30/08/2019 19:54

I’m just glad this wasn’t another Boswell incident!

CatteStreet · 30/08/2019 19:57

Yy to a PP, that's amusing as opposed to funny. I got it.
