SNIPPETS

PLUMBER

Her: "Don't forget that guy is coming to fix the plug system in the bathtub this morning. Clean it with Vim after your shower"

Me: "OK"

Her: "And clean the hand basin as well"

Me: "OK"

Her: "And don't glob toothpaste into the basin after you've cleaned it. He doesn't want to see bits floating in it"

Me: "He's a plumber. He's seen worse.

Her: "I don't want to be the subject of dinner party conversations about my housekeeping".


Me" (thinking) "What the fuck! He's a plumber"

Me: "OK"




BOOTS

Her: "It's raining. All the women will be wearing their gumboots today, I wish I'd bought some"

Me: "I'm sure there's a Para Rubber-type store somewhere, I'll get you some".

Her: "Para Rubber?"

Me: "There's a place named Canadian Tyre. I'm sure they'll have some"

Her: "Canadian Tyre!"

Me: "Yes, Red Bands or something similar"

Her: "Stupid man"

Eventually I did but as a late starter I can claim that I'm still learning.
