Great skit on Collectors tonight – really good 🙂 and very funny.
Maybe you’re next topic can be the funny things that people collect. For example, years ago Collectors showed a home video of someone who about his collection ….. of belly fluff! (yes …… belly fluff…….)
I’m sure there’s a lot of weird and whacky similar collections …..
So ….. your task …….. should you accept it ……. 😉 😉
