Reason #4,392 why my mother is the funniest person on the planet

[zoetrope]

This evening, driving:

Me: And now Dan's living in that old house where Nan's doctor used to work-- what was his name again?
Mum (with complete, calm certainty): Doctor Dyke.
Me:... Er, no, I think I'd remember that.
Mum: No, really, it was!
Me: Mum, Doctor Dyke sounds like a lesbian comic book supervillain.
Mum: Well, that was his name.
Me: Are you sure it wasn't Doctor Rugmuncher?
Mum: Don't, I'll wet myself.
(later)
Me: Bye Nan (ringing off) Mum. His name was Doctor Horsley.
Mum (as though she is not completely insane): Oh yes, that's it.

I honestly want to start a comic strip with Doctor Dyke as the protagonist.

I think I love your mother, and she must meet my mother, who calls up to tell me dirty jokes, though she can't bring herself to say "fuck" in a normal volume voice.

I would totally read that comic strip. :D
