I am thinking that this was a classic bit of original humour as a early start to another TGI'sF
A female friend phoned me ranting that her husband was a plonker and not very helpful so could I do a small favour for her ???
She had walked into her attached garage and fright upon fright came across a dead mouse like a good wife her first and choice for help was to phone her husband who was in work for guidance and advice and instructions on what to do with the demised mouse Husbands reply apparently was short and blunt saying "top shelf gas mark 5 and it should be cocked nicely in 20 minutes" From her ranting to me on the phone she was not best pleased with hubbies lack of sensible guidance and advice of what to do with the dead mouse
Now it seems that my two pence worth of a suggestion went down like a lead balloon and did not help the situation at all Knowing that there are two cats living in her house I told her it's simple and not a problem "just open the garage door and shoo one of the cats into the garage for a feed and it will be job done etc." Well now I was on the receiving end of being told that I was just like a cannibal and devoid of feelings and sentiment and that all men are of no bloody help at all and useless and the phone went dead I am guessing that she is and is not going to be speaking to me for a week or so ?
Could not help myself "top shelf gas mark 5 and it should be cocked nicely in 20 minutes" a brilliant comment
Well I thought that it was good humour Thanks Phil
