We saved a man's life today!

[BradNaylor]

A bloke came into the workshop this morning in a slightly agitated state. He was carrying a bedside table. It had a big cigarette burn on the top.

'Can you do anything with this?' he asked.

My mate Phil is the restoration expert. He had a look.

'No problem' he opined, 'I can have it ready for the end of the week.'

The bloke blanched visibly.

'You don't understand. I need it done today!'

He looked pleadingly at me and then back at Phil.

'My wife gets back tonight...



...and I don't smoke!'


The penny dropped. We took pity. Our altruism was helped along by the timely production of a wad of banknotes.

Kerching!! :lol:

'Come back at 5' says Phil.

It took us an hour and between us we did a good job. Blokey was delighted, very relieved, and £100 poorer!

Profitable work, this life-saving! :wink:

Cheers

As we sat in the pub after work spending some of our ill-gotten gains we speculated as to how much we could have really screwed him for!

I always knew smoking was an expensive habit, I just didn't realise how expensive. It was good of you guys to "help him out" :lol:
