If I’m ever feeling weary or blue, I watch this clip. It always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I’ve seen it before.
It’s an out-take from the Carol Burnett Show of the 1970s, with Tim Conway reducing his colleagues to hysterical tears with his completely ad-libbed lines. I’m posting it here so that I can find it again easily, but also in the hope that it gives you all a good belly-laugh this weekend!

Ha ha I will remember this next time I see an elephant I’m sure!
PS Am loving your Snippets sidebar :-)
It’s just so funny….I love the bit where he says, “the other’s eyes get REAL big..” :)
Glad you’re enjoying the snippets – I’m having fun with them! I wish all my other blogging friends would do something similar – I love knowing how someone’s day is going. Kind of like twitter without actually tweeting. :)
Ok what do they say just before they all fall on the floor… yo mama….????
That’s set me up for the day though ! Thanks x
I think the skit is the family playing a card game, and Carol Burnett says, “go on, mama..” just before Vicki Laurence says her line… :)
Celia – thanks for the laugh!
I’m so glad you said that about the snippets. I was really wanting to copy your idea but I thought it was a bit rude :) Now I’m so going to have a snippets corner too! I can’t get my head around tweeting :(
Sarah, absolutely! Look forward to following what you’re up to in real time! Joanna at Zeb Bakes and I both started snippetting at the same time, only her titbits are known as “Witterings”.. :)
Here’s my tip – in WordPress, type your text into a “comments reply” box on the admin pages, and then cut and paste it into a widget text box. That way you can add images and hyperlinks as well. :)
Thanks for the tip Celia – do you have a way of keeping your snippets or do you have to delete as you go to replace them with the next instalment?
Sarah, I just delete them as I go – anything I really want to save I put into a post. :)
I love the sound the siamese elephants are supposed to make when they trumpet, A kind of ‘snorkelly’ noise!
*snorkell* hehe
