Past and present times remembered ... a joke or two helps oil the wheels of commerce and dont take yourself too seriously!
A type of language school joke has been rattling about my head for years and I sure I must have read it somewhere but where I shall not mention.
Question: What is the capital of Turkey?
Answer: Constantinople!
Wrong! Go to the back of the class!
I was fortunate enough to have an extended /honeymoon period/in Europe and
visited the Greek Islands .. and picked up a lot of good habits on drama ..how to perform at 6 am in the morning before it gets too hot on the beach ... how to play the diplomat at the hotel without showing your shyness at the strange ways of one's companions. Also the view of only the Greek Islands and Greece what about the Capital City i.e. Athens.
I visited Athens but it got pushed to the back of my agenda .. it was a
wonderful city in 1968 .. I met many French people and men of an exciting and Greek nature and my travelling companion did likewise.
The drama connection was the continental arm waving business ... it took a bit of getting used to .. since I was taught always to keep my hands at my sides and stop waving my arms about as I might knock smaller people than me down on the ground! Drama ... Greek style ... wonderful memories of 1968! Happy Days!
