When one has an itchy spot between one's shoulderblades, a twelve-inch ruler makes an excellent implement for alleviating the discomfort.
Provided, of course, that one does not inadvertantly let go of the end when distracted by, for example, the doorbell going unexpectedly. And the discomfort caused by a spot between the shoulderblades is as nothing to the discomfort of embarrassment when a twelve-inch ruler drops out of one's trouser-leg onto the feet of an electricity meter reader..... |

QUOTE(Flossie @ Nov 7 2011, 05:03 PM) I'm sure we no longer get post delivered everyday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) There are a couple of days each week when everyone in our block of flats gets post and on other days no-one gets any (but I'm not sure that it's regular days). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I'm waiting for something that was posted first class on Thursday and there was no post at all on Saturday or today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) My post still hasn't come. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
