I HOPE THAT YOU'RE OK

"I hope that you are OK" - I commented on Richard's increasingly infrequent blog and was about to inform him that I didn't post yesterday myself because I had an AF spike and wasn't feeling well.

This immediately made me think of 'parallel universing' (a Richard construction) where when someone tells a story, a listener indulges in one-upmanship by telling another, similar but often grander story. Think Monty Python's 'Four Yorkshiremen'.

The Four Yorkshiremen skit was borrowed from the earlier Peter Cook and Dudley Moore - Pete and Dud - in a Not Only But Also skit:

Now that's classic parallel universing.
