When I'm cleaning windows
« on: October 22, 2009, 12:22:47 pm »
How do you respond to the great wit who sings that as they walk past.
I've been tempted to say go away in some form or other.
But usually pretend I haven't heard.


Instead I tend to hum to myself 'If you just knew how much I made, when I'm cleaning windows'  ;D

Any good comebacks?

Or they say, you can do mine after  ::)
Nah sorry love I'm too expensive
Or I don't do your area, where do you live

I did a good one to a young oik who lent out of a window at a school I had just cleaned with WFP.
He shouted 'Ere mate you forgot to use soap'
I shouted back 'So did you', all the kids in the class laughed, very satisfying.

You have the sign written van, you have the uniform, your washing the windows and they still come up and say "are you a window cleaner"  ::) I always reply "No I'm a Burglar  and I'm Just checking this place out  ::) I have secret mirrors built into my pole so I can see everything  ::)

To the wits that ask "are you a window cleaner" you could  always respond with - " by the amount of tw@s I see in a day I could be mistaking for a gynacholigist" ;D

Are you a window cleaner? - I always say I am a burglar, but it's my day off.

Missed a bit - I always say Yes, I know. I will sort it out next time.

Haven't had anyone sing when I'm cleaning windows. Perhaps turn round and say Turned out nice again.
