misunderstanding

I feel I must just relate an incident that happened last week while we were in the lovely northern spa town of Newcastle.
A colleague of mine asked the tired old rhetorical question,

"What's the worst that could happen?" To which I replied, "Ebola"........

Now I am not sure whether she did not hear me clearly or whether she had not heard of this deadly virus but after a pause for thought of a few seconds she said,

"What, like a hat?"

Now, I was temporarily stunned by this but soon realised the inadvertent genius of this idea.....Ebola hat!

Now for those who do not know their Ebola from their bowler check this out......

Now imagine all the destructive flesh eating power of this killer disease harnessed into a simple piece of headwear!

There is an upside to all this; it would be a great way of ridding the world of rubbish Charlie Chaplain impersonators.
