Wise words from an Australian comedian
"Worried about dry skin? Concerned about lines and wrinkles? Then visit a burns unit and get some perspective." Shaun Micallef
It's a shame the Micallef show was only ever shown on cable here in the UK
A spot-on comedic insight.
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so Calum!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of him. He has a point ...!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very amusing line.
ReplyDelete:)
Hooray for Aussies! :)
ReplyDeleteHis show was very funny. This was a line that always stuck in my mind. Glad you all like it!
ReplyDeleteHe is so right though, more important things to worry about than wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is Nunyaa!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I used to really enjoy the Micallef Programme and have never come across anyone else who had heard of it.
ReplyDeleteThe strange thing is that I can remember finding it funny, but can't remember a single line from it.
We're a bit thin on teh ground here by looks of it. THe not wife even has the shows on dvd. This was the one quote that always stuck in my mind
ReplyDeleteI like his name. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll make a prediction. No matter how big Shaun Micallef becomes, he will never be asked to be a product spokesman for skin care products!
Haha that's true. I somehow can't see him as a spokesman for L'Oreal!
