On friday morning I cleaned a brand new account, a lovely young lady, early 20's and really pleased to find a window cleaner to do her windows.
After finishing the job I was chatting to her over a cuppa and a couple of digestive biscuits, she was asking me about what to use to clean the inside of her windows.
I told her I would go to the van (we were chatting in her garden) and get a microfibre cloth and some window cleaning spray.
Now while we were chatting I disturbed her cat, that shot over the fence and hid under the van.
As I went to close the side door on the van, after going to fetch the bits & pieces to show the customer (she had followed me out the the van) as the van door slammed shut, the cat shot out like a startled rabbit, hit the fence at a 100 mph and disappeared over the top.
"Strewth! That's a lively ginger
pussy you have there!" I exclaimed
Only to cringe the moment I said it, it's no longer a word you should use is it? Not when the person concerned is female!
"Well, yes." She replied as I glanced at her, cringing inside at my fau-pas, and then my ears really began to burn as I realised she was a red head!
Oh for a hole to open up and swallow you
How many of you have blurted out something really embarrassing, you know the kind of thing,, before you can stop yourself the words have left your mouth, and like a loony tune's cartoon you have grown buck teeth and jackass ears
