General Discussion Area / A wee story
« on: 10 August 2006, 19:05:02 »
Meant as a funny tale, not a preaching lesson, so no offence or bible thumping intended..... 
Once upon a time, I was out and about doing what I get paid for. (see the newbie welcome if unclear)
My colleague and I were having a busy day and asked a chap who was travelling at warp speed to check out how soft and comfy the rear seats were in our shiny Beemer. He didn't want to, so we twisted his arm a wee bit.
Once there, he insisted that he still didn't want to be there and that we should be doing other things rather than be talking to him. We asked him to watch the telly that was in the dashboard for a couple of minutes. We hoped that would calm him down, but it had no effect as he did not like the channel or the programme. If anything, it seemed to get him more annoyed.
He was told it was the only channel that we could watch and that, if he kept looking, he would see a nice shiney car like his on it soon but he would have to watch really really hard as it was only going to be there for a few seconds to start with, as it was going quite quick. He shouldn't worry though, we managed to keep up with it and, if he looked at the corner of the screen, he could see how fast it was going...... (really dont advise having too many dangly things in the rear window. Makes your boring blue repmobile quite distinctive from all other blue repmobiles...)
Once he realised that he was now a TV star and that we wouldn't send the tape to a Mr Beadle, he settled a bit but told us we should change jobs and go catch what he called 'real criminals', such as rapists and murderers.
Cue radio message....
Zed Tee from Hotel two-one, for the benefit of a member of the public, could you advise how many ongoing rape and murder enquiries there are within the force area at this time, please?
To Hotel two-one, none at this time, over.
Roger Zed Tee, thank you.
Well sir, it would appear that you now have our full and undivided attention. Want to see the tape again?
As we say up this neck of the woods, his gas was now at a peep, and he paid up like a good 'un at the court later.
Discuss...... :-/
