Short post today....but it's amused me
I popped into our local supermarket for some stuff for tea
And couldn't find what I was looking for as the store is being refurbished
Finally I stopped a manager and in a rather exasperated way
Asked him
"Can you show me where your dumplings are?"
We looked at each other for a long moment
Then both of us burst into laughter
oh...Mr. Gray...you just break me up!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut did he?
ReplyDeleteJane x
He took me straight to them
DeleteSpit my coffee all over the screen.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a dumpling package like that...
ReplyDeleteBet you have
DeleteLOL I sprained an abdominal muscle laughing at this
ReplyDeleteOh, you smooth charmer, you!
ReplyDeleteHerby dumplings sound a bit sus John.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a soul singer
DeleteHmmm, I never heard them called that!
ReplyDeleteNancy in Iowa
Bet you have
DeleteI take it he told you... I must say that package is not at all inspiring! Which reminds me I must find something quick for dinner -- don't want to miss Poirot at 8!
ReplyDeleteAt Christmas will you ask him where he keeps his sausage stuffing?
ReplyDeleteFannah fannah
DeleteI'm glad you stated that the manager was a 'he', otherwise Lord knows where our minds would have gone to.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is always telling me I need to be careful how I ask things.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful day, John. ♥
Cheeky!!!
ReplyDeleteI once asked at Waitrose (Brighton) Deli counter for some Sil (Swedish marinated raw Herrings), and was given the very curt reply "We don't sell Seal here Sir".
...but we'll get you some sir
DeleteDidn't know one could get 'dumplings' in a mix!
ReplyDeleteShort post maybe, but made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteIt is good that he shared the same sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteThat question wins 2nd place as a come-one line right after: "So, do you come here often?"
ReplyDeleteOh you are naughty. (but I like you). Almost as bad as my son bring me round two pumpkins for Hallowe'en (it is my birthday) and coming in holding them in a sugestive position. I had the quick presence of mind to suggest he held them much lower down (there is life in the old dog yet)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Grated suet, self raising flour and a pinch of salt. As little water as possible, and fresh, grated horse-radish.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of dumplings, JOHN HAVE YOU SEEN THIS???? IT'S DARYL FROM WALKING DEAD AND HE'S HUBBA HUBBA.

He's a sweetie
DeleteHave I told you this before? God's truth, I once asked a hedging expert if he had any tips for trimming my box.....
ReplyDeleteYou outdid my dumplings
DeleteDiddle diddle dumpling, my son John...
ReplyDeleteetc.
So, what are you cooking to use that dumpling mix?
ReplyDeleteNice dumplings, baby.
ReplyDeleteI go to bed with a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteHo! Ho! Good job it wasn't a lady supermarket worker. She might have slapped your mush! Then you'd have felt a right tit!
ReplyDeleteI learned early on in life as a little blonde never to ask a man "for a jump" when my car broke down...
ReplyDeleteWell, if you have to ask, then...
ReplyDeleteBut did he show you?
