oh I thought rocket surgery was a little joke - you know, mixing up brain surgery and rocket science?

mrsruffallo · 25/09/2010 21:54

rocket surgery?

Hassled · 25/09/2010 21:55

Rocket surgery = standard piss take of the standard cliches.

Yes, whose/who's is definately not rocket surgery :o.

Yep rocket surgery is a wee bit more catchy than Brain Science, IYSWIM.

Oh, I really like that. Might use it in RL, except I'm worried people might not realise it's ironic.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 26/09/2010 20:58

I'll allow you to use it MrsMW, but you must accredit me each time. Grin

And just remember, only special folks understand irony. Wink

Chaos Many thanks for the loan of the ironic effect. Slightly worried about the timing and the delivery now I have to accredit you. Imagining:

"That was ironic by the way. And I got it from ChaosTrulyReigns on Mumsnet. Feel free to laugh now."
