Claudia is playing the lyre for Nero
It's said that roman emperor Nero played the fiddle (violin) while Rome burned during the great fire in AD 64.

Firstly, there was no such instrument as the fiddle (violin) in first century Rome. If Nero played anything during the Rome fire, it was probably the lyre.

Secondly, Nero problably didn't play by himself. He had beautiful lady slaves that played for him.

Do you like your teacher?

BENNY:   Yes, I like my teacher, but she does not like me!

I've tried the apple trick, but she said that was too cheap.

Maybe I went too far that time when I placed a farting machine under her chair. Everyone in the class thought it was funny, but not the teacher.

She's probably no sense of humor.

You are a couple. How did you meet?


I am a fisherman and one day at sea I discovered a wrecked surfers. It was Jessica who floated out to sea on a broken surfboard. I saved her from drowning.

It turned out that Jessica is a nurse and as thanks for saving her life, she now takes care of me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We might as well get married, and so we did.

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?

BETINA:  I'm an early bird and I live very close to a golf course, in fact our house is ON the golf course, so naturally the first thing I do every morning is go and play golf.

I mostly play with my neighbour and friend Caroline.

The other day, on the 15th hole, we suddenly found a golf ball on the fairway. The first golf ball we saw that morning. We thought about playing it, but finally decided not to. Hitting golf balls is not our game.

Golf certainly is about being social.
