My Scottish colleague told me of an episode of an afternoon ladies’ variety show he saw on the Beeb.

Now, to understand this gaffe, you have to know that a certain Britishism means something slightly geographically different than the American equivalent.

Anyway, Nigel and Fanny were the hosts of the show. For their last segment, a doughnut chef came on and showed them how to make doughnuts in the deep fryer. Fanny had the knack of making them perfect; Nigel, not so much.

Nigel had the honors of closing the show when time was up, so he did so thus:

“Well folks, that’s all the time we have for today. Here’s wishing you a happy tomorrow....and may all your doughnuts come out looking like Fannie’s.”
