Anecdotes

[hard top]

I was at my mates wine beer and spirits emporium this afternoon.
He had a bit of a slow day so we sat down for a chat and a cold one, as you do.
A well dressed chap came in, walked around for a bit and then left without buying anything.
Then came the anecdote.
My mate said "Oh, he has seen Flappy (his partner in the business who has big ears)
This well dressed chap (one short of a six pack it seems) had been coming into the shop on and off for the last year and always walked up to Flappy and asked for a good bottle of wine.
Flappy:- This one is excellent Sir.
Chap:- Are you sure?
Flappy:- Yes.
Chap:- OK, I will take it. Can you wrap it up? Have you got a bag? Have you got a receipt?
Scroll on to closing time, in comes the chap who walks up to Flappy and states that this is not the wine he wants and can he have his money back.
This happened at least ten times that year until Flappy recognized him. (Doh!)
In comes chap.
Chap:- I am looking for a good bottle of wine.
Flappy:- This one is excellent Sir.
Chap:- Are you sure?
Flappy:- Yes.
Chap:- OK, I will take it. Can you wrap it up? Have you got a bag? Have you got a receipt?
Flappy:- Receipt is in the bag.
Scroll on to closing time, in comes the chap who walks up to Flappy and states that this is not the wine he wants and can he have his money back.
Flappy:- Have you got the receipt?
Chap:- (Looking in bag) No.
Flappy;- Bet that's phucked your day up........

Any more out there that are true story's, lets have em.

Funny story Mike but can't help wondering what the guy was trying to achieve, was he returning empty bottles otherwise how could he expect a refund.

Not empty, still wrapped up and in the same bag.

You know what they say "nowt as queer as folk".

Boss: Does your old car have air bags?
Me: Yes.
Boss: They did not go off.

He took it back home and showed the wife. Obviously this guy can do nothing right in her eyes. haha

Perhaps he had a sex craved partner if you know what I mean, cause you can use wine bottles for other things than holding wine, or so I am told... How many bottles of wine do you buy from that Emporium Mike?

 

[hard top]

Not many actually Jim, mostly just crates of beer.

Seen on the forecourt of a local garage many years ago, an Austin Maxi, painted in floral patterns, /flower-power.
Sign on the car said 'Hand Painted By Local Artist.' in my eyes who ever painted it must have used an 8" brush and emulsion.
It was very cheap.

Once saw a mini clubman which had been covered with that self adhesive vynil wallpaper which came out in the early seventies. It was in a floral pattern and looked truly awful, even to a spotty teenaged school kid.

Bad Boy reminded me of this with his Champagne nonsense.
Same emporium, different time.
In between Christmas and New Year
Piper-Heidsieck.
I will have to explain this one slightly. Piper in Dutch is slang for 'oral gratification' of the male.
Lady: Hello, I would like to buy a bottle of Champagne.
Flappy: Yes madam, this one is very good.
Lady: Oh, that's a bit expensive. Its only for New Years Eve with my friends, have you got something cheaper?
Flappy (rolling his eyes) decides to go the sparkling wine route.
Flappy: How about this one madam?
Lady: (With bottle in hand) Piper? Is that nice?
Flappy: Oh yes, Piper is very nice.
Lady: Because I don't want to disappoint my friends.
Flappy: You will certainly not disappoint the friends who like it.
Lady; OK, I will try it but what's it like?
Flappy: It tickles the tongue if you run it all around your mouth and then slides gently down your throat.
At this point I had to leg it to the office, I was wetting myself.
