I placed an advert in the local paper.... Handyman available.
Within a couple of days I got my first enquiry. "Hello, are you the handyman?" A sultry voice asked.
"Yes." I answered.
"Good, because I've got some things which need attending to" she continued.
So, ten minutes later and I'm round her house.
She first invited me into the garden, and pointing at some overgrown bushes, she asked "Do you think that you could trim my bushes for me?"
I looked, and then replied "I'm sorry, but I have no experience of gardening"
She looked slightly displeased but then beckoned for me to follow her into her kitchen. "Okay" she continued "I've got a damp patch from a dripping tap, do you think you can fix it?"
I spent a minute to catch my thoughts and then replied "I'm sorry, but I have no experience at plumbing work"
She frustratedly ran her fingers through her long, blonde hair. Then, looking at me with a smile, she said "Come upstairs...." Once we reached her bedroom, she pointed to her wardrobe with a door missing. "She then asked, do you have any carpentry experience?"
Shaking my head from side to side, I meekly said "I'm sorry but I have no experience at all with woodwork".
Looking me straight in my eyes, she asked "So why the hell do you call yourself a handyman?"
With a glint in my eyes, I smiled and responded "Well, I live three doors away" |
