Angel 0 Devil 1

You never know how relaxed an audience is going to be until you get to a gig. In some ways it is the same with the passengers in the my limousine in the Cortege. It does not happen very often, but sometimes the mood is very light. As was today.As is a tradition in the UK, the Funeral Director walks in front of the Hearse from the house we have picked up from. He only walks a few yards, and then gets back into the vehicle until we get to the Church or Crematorium.
The lady who sat in the front of the Limousine, looked at me and said in a very posh voice.
'He's not walking all the way is he'
Now at this point there was a little Angel on one of my shoulders and a little Devil on the other.
For what was going though my head as a reply, the Angel said 'No don't say it'
And of course the Devil' cackled and said 'Go for it'
Of course the Devil won and I said....
'No madam, he breaks into a run when he gets to the Motorway'
There was a second of silence, where my life flashed before my eyes.....and then everyone started laughing.
It was very naughty I know, but I couldn't stop myself. Oh well ,always fancied a change of career.
