- A man , who has never had two halfpenny's to rub together wins a million
- quid on the pools so he decides to lash out and buy some decent
- transport, and to give up his cherished push bike.
-
- Taking a bus into the local town, he visits the biggest car dealer in
- the area. Gazing through the window, he almost drools at the Rollers,
- Ferrari's, and Lotus's..... A salesman seeing him asked if he could help
- at all.......
-
- "well, I am looking for a nice fast sports car, that is really easy to
- drive, I've never driven anything before....."
-
- "Oh dear", said the saleman, "then perhaps sir should start off with
- something a little less powerfull than a sports car.Perhaps a mini? "
-
- The man desides to take the advice, and try's out a posh little Mini
- City. Before he had even got off the forecourt he had hit three cars and
- knocked over the petrol pump attendant.
-
- "May I suggest sir, that we try a different approach, and try a pony and
- trap."
-
- "No way!" says the man, " Horses scare the <expletive> out of me ."
-
- The salesman thought for a while and then, turning to the pools winner,
- said, "I have a brilliant idea, sir. Out the back of the garage, we have
- six foot chicken, we could put a buggy behind that and away you go!"
-
- "Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm, I must say that I don't mind chickens, but
- does it go fast, and is it in good condition ??"
-
- "Why yes sir, its in very good condition indeed, and it will do over 100
- miles an hour." replied the salesman.
-
- So the man was kitted out with goggles, leather gloves a full set of
- riding tack suitable for a six foot chicken, and a dog cart, and sent on
- his way. Our intrepid pools winner desided to take the rig onto the
- motorway, for after studying the Highway Code, he could find no mention
- of any ban on Chickens.
-
- He started off at a nice steady 40 mph, but soon had gained enough
- confidence to whip the chicken into a frenzy of speed.... The little
- speedo crept up and up....60, 65, 75,,,, 90........ 100 !!!!!!
- With the wind whipping in his face the guy was over the moon...He was
- passing everything on the road with no effort whatsoever.....
-
- Then......
- .............. disaster !!!!!!
-
- As they overtook an old Ford Granada, it backfired.... The
- chicked reared up, kicked out , and the harness broke clean away. With
- the chicken galloping off into the sunset, the guy desperately steered
- the cart onto the hardshoulder. He sat shaking for some time, but when
- his nerves calmed sufficiantly, he used an emergency telephone to get
- help. Well after the mandatory 3 hour wait, a man from the RAC turned
- up, and was told the story, up to when the Granada had backfired.....
-
- The RAC man thought for a while, looked under the cart, and then walked
- round the thing. When he reached the his face lit up..... "I know what
- your trouble is mate" says the RAC man , " and I'me afraid its a tow in
- job. Nothing we can do on the road."
-
- "So tell me whats wrong then .........."
-
- "It's quite obvious,sir"
-
- "YOUR BIG 'ENS GONE!!!!!!!!!!! "
