The funniest person I know …
Nicola Dempsey: Our friend Al trod on a bird at a bird sanctuary.
The funniest item of clothing I’ve ever owned …
Nicola: As kids we had matching jumpers that said “Spice Girls and Nicola” and “Spice Girls and Rosie”. No picture. Just the words.
The funniest meal I’ve ever eaten …
Rosie Dempsey: I made mushroom soup but didn’t have a blender so cut the mushrooms up as small as I could. It looked wet and grey and I also over-peppered it and got the shits.
Nicola: We tried to make creme caramel and screwed it up so badly it tasted like a cold, wet, sweet omelette. We tried four times before we packed it in. A huge waste of time and eggs.
The funniest dream I’ve ever had …
Rosie: I used to have a recurring nightmare that Marilyn Manson would chase me on a horse around the roundabout outside our school.
The funniest thing that shouldn’t be funny …
Rosie: Madonna falling down the stairs at the Brits.
The funniest word …
Nicola: Sploich. The sound of something wet and weighty hitting a solid surface.
Rosie: Booby.
The funniest joke I’ve ever heard …
Rosie: Brought to my attention by Tig Notaro, not a joke but a headline from The Onion: “Seagull With Diarrhea Barely Makes It to Crowded Beach in Time.”
