Tipping over is the lowest anyone could go - win win!

Srsly tho.  I sent long, well written texts to somebody and got two word replies back. Turned out it was a Polish bloke who hardly spoke English and gave up guitar after a week  It was hard work TBH and I could see why he still hadn't sold a "New Boss TU-3 £30". There was even a two week old Macaris receipt in the box.

I had an excercise bike for sale on Gumtree a few months back.

A local guy text me saying "what is the resistance like?"

I answered "my wife has resisted using it for the last 5 years, if that helps?"

I phoned up and asked "are you local?"

He said "it depends where your calling from."

I phoned up the builders and said "I wanna skip outside my house."
He said "I'm not stopping you"

I phoned the local gym because I wanted to learn to do the splits. He said "how flexible are you?"
I said "I can't do Tuesdays."
