JadedSnapper is at a nursery
JadedSnapper: Hi, I’m here to do a picture of your new play equipment
NurseryNurse: Ah, brilliant! Is it going on the front page?
JS: Who knows what depths we’ll have sunk to by edition time..
NurseryNurse: So it’s going on the front then? In colour?
JS: Again, who knows how much the budget will have been cut by then…. So if I can just get two or three of the kids on the slide…
NurseryNurse: Can’t you get all the kids on the slide… I mean it’ll be great for their self esteem and make them all feel involved
JS: Well they’re only 2 years old, I’m sure they’re all happy eating plasticine or whatever it is they do. It would make a better picture if I only had a few –
NurseryNurse: Erm, no, I disagree, the better picture would be with all 20 standing around the slide waving at the camera –
JS: I do seem to remember a Pulitzer Prize picture involving that very set up..
NurseryNurse: Exactly
JS: Right, well, I’ll do that, but if you want the front page [says quizzically, more to self] then it would help if I could do one with a few as well. Do you have permissions for their names.
NurseryNurse: Only the first syllable of the first name can be used. Child Protection, Data Protection, Health and Safety, Human Rights, Anti-Terror Laws you see
JS: Well why did you invite us then?
NurseryNurse: Right, well, I suppose you can have the first names…
JS: Common sense has prevailed, if only for half the time
NurseryNurse: Right well here’s all the kids.
JS: Click
NurseryNurse: Is that it?
JS: I’m a pro, you see
NurseryNurse: I don’t think that picture is going to be used
JS: No, hopefully not. So if I can just do one with a few kids.
NurseryNurse: Right, well okay, I’ll stick four on the slide
JS: Click
NurseryNurse: Is that it?
JS: You don’t realise how degrading this is. So names…
NurseryNurse: Lee, Colleen, Wayne and Georgia
JS: All normal spellings?
NurseryNurse: Apart from the last one
JS: Georgia?
NurseryNurse: Yeah, that’s J-O-R-J-A
JS: Georgia spelt ‘JORJA’? Are you taking the piss?
NurseryNurse: …
JS: …
NurseryNurse: …
JS: That’s your kid isn’t it?
NurseryNurse: …
JS: That’ll be me off then.
Ha ha ha ha ha, did your face go hot and you’re head get sweaty?
Best laugh I’ve had all week, thank you sir!
I believe I simply ran away. Strangely enough I got a complaint about that one. Which they then used as an attempt to get a picture spread. A PICTURE SPREAD!
Excellent! Another weekend that starts with a laugh. Thank you! 🙂
Jaydid Snapa – wonderful 😀
See what you did there! In other spelling news I have witnessed a Guardian
reporterwriter use ‘bought’ where they meant ‘brought’ today. Oh. My. God😀
Just put it down however you fancy the sub’s are just going to fuck it up.
Nice one, gave me a laugh. And been there too. Rather too often…
The chief irony of this is I had to caption it ‘Jorja (CORRECT)’
aaaaaaaahahahahahahaha VERY funny.
lol!!

Awesome, sooo funny and way to true
Naymes eh? A lot of it is to do with illiterate parents not knowing how ‘Georgia’ and other names are spelt in the first place.
Registrar “So how do you spell ‘Georgia’?
IP “Erm… J O R J A”
Registrar (rolls eyes) “O-Kay”
A favourite I spotted on the Angry People in Local Newspaper is a child named ‘Jay.d’. No really
Up there with will.i.am (all lower case, Correct)
At least will.i.am has a pun involved. Jay.d is just wrong, morally
