As a nice gesture for the wife this year I put up a dartboard in the kitchen with various holiday destinations on post-it-notes on the board.

I said you throw a dart and wherever it hits, that’s where we’ll go.

Turns out we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge.
Since when has 'Behind the Fridge' been a holiday destination? Did you research the names properly before putting them on the post-it notes?

A classic 😂

Depending on the size and weight of the fridge, you could always take it with you. You could use it instead of suitcases, it would also be useful in a hot destination but be sure to take an adaptor with you. I doubt it would be classed as hand luggage on a plane though, you may have to take the bread bin for that.
And it's also good for hiding in. Always good to have a hiding place handy.

If it’s anything like the back of my fridge, it sounds like quite the adventure holiday - you’ll encounter all sorts of little-known life forms. Will you bring your own protective gear, or can you rent it there? I think you’ll need a machete. Be safe.

The rule was ‘wherever the dart hits’.

To end up “behind the fridge”, the dart must have hit something else on the way - the wall, the ceiling, the floor etc. ‘Behind the fridge’ is not actually something you can ‘hit’.

Therefore I recommend you go back and retrace what actually happened. And perhaps be a bit kinder and more romantic towards your wife. Hitting the floor could mean a dreamy week in Floorence, Italy. Bouncing off the wall might take you both to the history and culture of Wallsaw in Poland. And so on.

I think you initially make a very good point, but subsequently made a couple of really quite glaring errors in geography.

The city in Italy is actually Florence, and not “Floorence”, greatly lessening the connection between the floor and the Tuscan city.

Similarly, the city in Poland is Warsaw, and has no connection with walls whatsoever.

Otherwise, I thought your post raised some interesting points.

If you took the fridge with you then you could always have it behind you. You could write a book about it maybe.

Actually. Tony Hawks is from Brighton. Are you Tony Hawks?!

Yeah it wasn’t written on a post-it either. This has more holes in than one of the Scandinavian cheeses that you can buy and to be perfectly honest I find them a tad bland. You know like Jarlsberg.
It had a lot of potential but ………. I’m getting the nibbles now.

Well, the way I heard it, Robin Hood was on his death bed, surrounded by his not so merry men.
Robin took up his bow and arrow for the last time, and aimed towards the window.
”Wherever this arrow lands, bury me there.”
With a great effort and final twang, he loosed his final shot.



They buried him on top of the wardrobe.

It would have had holes in it - but for the fact that presumably the point (pun intended) of the so-called joke is that the dart didn't actually go through the post-it note, but landed behind the fridge.
