Thought this might amuse...
Sold something on ebay recently, and my buyer had a sufficiently unusual-sounding email address to prompt me, as a nosey bugger, to type "www" in front of it and bung it into my web brower. Well, well - turns out to be a "swinger's" site; lots of full-colour gynaecological and acrobatic pictures and details of how I can meet up with lots of like-minded people in my area for 'parties' - photo of grotty-looking caravan and awning helpfully included to set the scene. I couldn't resist entering the URL into
The item was quite large, so the buyer arranged to come and collect it yesterday (not saying what it was as it was unusual for anyone sufficiently curious and time-rich - and sad? - to identitify the item and buyer!) Very unassuming little man; nice bloke (but did cause SWMBO to say later "eeew, who on earth would want to...), pitches up in this old ex-ambulance, which was intriguing - all the couches were still in place and there was a substantial curtained-off area all down one side. "Wow, that's really something", says I brightly, "so what do you use it for?" "Oh - er- just moving stuff around really".
So we lugged the item over but it wouldn't fit because of the partition. Me: "Can't you just unscrew that?" pointing to fairly flimsy supporting pole, screwed to the floor/ceiling, around which this all-encompassing curtain was hanging. "Er... er... yes I suppose so", he says. So I get fetch the screwdriver and stand watching behind the ambulance (heh, heh) and making small talk with the guy while he unscrews the pole while at the same time desperately trying to hold up the curtain. He finally succeeds and we then haul the widget into the vehicle, him still managing to keep his curtain in place. I never did find out what was behind it but he finally drove away - sweating a bit - without me finding out.
I'm now trying to think up a suitably witty double-entendre to leave him as ebay feedback: any ideas?!!
