Mildly amusing English usage #4

Handsome boy

Having just recently returned to school after the long summer holiday, it has to be said that I haven’t exactly been Mr. Jolly. But today my mood was lightened somewhat, as one of the students very kindly called me a handsome boy

Now sadly it’s quite a few years since I could realistically be labeled a boy, and even on my more optimistic days, classing myself as handsome would raise a few eyebrows to say the least. But that said, who can argue with the wise words of a 14-year-old schoolgirl? Ok, almost anybody, but that’s hardly the point.

No, the point is that I’m now officially a handsome boy. Success, wealth, and happiness await!
