So there I was having a bite to eat with the missus earlier this evening, when my mobile rang.
I promptly answered and a nice young lady informed me that she was here to help me about the accident that I'd had within the last 3 years, that wasn't my fault.
I asked her how she knew so she asked, "so you've had an accident within 3 years that wasn't your fault?"
My reply, "well ..... I was drunk at the time .... and I crashed my plane ..... does that count?"
..... damn ..... she hung up. How freakin' rude can some people be lol ??
//// How wasn't it your fault ?
Unsurprised she gave up. ////
I wanted to wind her up and it worked lol :P
Next time, I'll try the one that I've used before, where I was the sole survivor of a big plane crash and I ask if if she knew about it 'cos it was all over the news. Strangely enough though, they hung up on that one was well ;(
I was phoned to have one of those crippy smart meters fitted which I was not keen on and was whining about it
and so she said at the end -there is a vulnerable person in the house - and I said yeah that's me - deaf and blind and wiv secondary cancer
( in fact there was blood all around my muzzle where I had been biting her)
and the little madam said - well I hope you are still alive when we come round to fix it !
I was reminded about Denys Feench-'atton in Out of Africa
In fact Karen Blixen spoke English like the rest of us
( but Meryl Streep sculpted a beautiful Anglo-Danish arksent)
and me auld mam said after she saw the film
well if you do fly your airplane half-cut all the time
you are pretty well bound to drive it into a hill!
1918 - there were 180 000 airplanes available and nothing to do with them - so they were knocked down for pounds
Fifteen years with no maintenance seems about right
