    About this ebook

    “Just the Funny Bits” is a collection of illustrated, comedic anecdotes.

    Compiled excerpts from Yvette Price-Mear’s previous books;
    “Your Mongoose Wants Re-Varnishing”
    &
    “There’s ALWAYS Time to Watch the Mice Dance”
    &
    “Would Tony Blair REALLY Have Invited Me For Tea…? If He Knew That I (Inadvertently) Took Photographs of Dead Friends”.

    I hope you’re intrigued by the titles!

    Just to give you an idea of the kind of (true) family yarns the book contains;

    1; My littlest Granddaughter (aged four) said; “Nana, when I went to play at Evelyn’s we SNEAKED into her Mummy’s bedroom and got something ‘very private and special’ out of her drawers that we aren’t allowed to touch”.
    I hardly dared ask…
    “It was Lindsay’s machine to make sure that her baby’s heart is beeping”. WHAT a relief!

      "Just the Funny Bits" - Yvette Price-Mear OLM

      ISBN: 9781483504049

      Whilst I was working as a Nurse in Out Patients at our local Hospital I was taking a history from a very quietly spoken patient who had a glass eye. I introduced him to the Consultant Dr Sands as; Mr H - who lost his eye as a child when he was attacked by a Pelican.

      Sorry to interrupt, Nurse said the patient Mr H But it was with a pellet gun. We don’t get many Pelicans in Mansfield.

      Whilst I was driving I saw a man sweating and swearing profusely re-loading vegetables that had fallen off his tractor-trailer. I said to him; Cheer up love; I’ll help you to pick all your turnips up – if you give me one for my dinner.

      We spent a companionable hour chatting and picking them all up and as I said goodbye he said; Don’t forget your turnip, I hope you enjoy it.

      When I got home and regaled my tale to my husband Tony he took the greatest of pleasure in telling me that the vegetable gift I had was in fact – a sugar beet!

      I wasted 35p on an edition of the Nottingham Evening Post when I misread the words on a sign outside the Newsagents. I was utterly intrigued when I drove past and saw the headline ‘Lap Dancing Bear Loses Its Performing Licence’ on the sandwich board.

      I had visions of a grizzly bear wearing a diamante bikini and gyrating seductively around a sweaty middle-aged man. Only after I’d parted with my 35p did I notice that it actually said ‘Lap Dancing Bar loses its Performing Licence’.

      I did ask for my money back - citing extenuating circumstances - but unfortunately my request was politely declined. Misers.
