so... im out in town in Debenhams department stall http://www.debenhams.com/, doing a bit off non productive shopping.... (as always) when the announcement happens:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, in our stall today we are giving away a free sharp kitchen knife to our shoppers. Go immediately now to the 2nd floor, behind the esculator to collect your free, no obligation kitchen knife"
ah yeah me thinks... free my a*se !
Then 2 secs later im swept up in the mad frenzy of bewildered shoppers making their way to the 2nd Floor. We the people we demand our free knives!
A small gathering rabble of townsfolk now meets me on the 2nd floor . Young and old and many bald men ( for some reason) Nervous laughter. Wots he gonna try and sell us before we get the free knife ? How long will i have to endure the pain ? all in the quest to get a free knife
"Are you here for your free knives ?" asks a very highly polished bald man to us
" Yeah!" we sing
But he then explains we will get our knives, eventually, but first we gotta listen up ... we gorra learn about "The Sharpest Knife in the World... Which i will now demonstrate"
It was funny the demo... he made me laugh .. he was a kinda Northern Delboy.
I was laughing too much actually that i then became part of the act....
" madam kindly inspect this steel hammer" he passes me a hammer
"yes its a hammer" i tell him
"and have we ever met before?"
" i dont think so"
" and you are not part of the act? "
"err.. i dont think so"
He then proceeds to saw with the "Sharpest Knife in the World " thru the Steel hammer
Pretty neat trick . But when would you ever wanna saw through a hammer ?? hmmm
Then the demo was over. I got my free knife ! well happy.
The knife in question - that i risked life and limb to obtain.
