The Little Man In The Boat

Today was a quite educationally valuable day. During breaks in the staff room I learned that one is never really alone, even though their wife might be out of town. How's that, I asked, and my co-workers immediately enlightened me.

It is because appearently Handselina Jolly and Palmela Handerson are always with me, where ever I go. Furthermore I was also informed that there is in this world a little man in a boat, although according to a different co-worker this little man might also be a quite big man in a boat sometimes.

Two fingers, they added, as if holding a cigarette, are usually quite enough to touch this little man in his boat.

I was amazed and almost spilled my coffee.
