" ohhhh Eileen"


I completed some last minute shopping this morning
and while I was standing at the checkout of one particular squeaky clean department
store I overheard this conversation
First assistant : " Eileen, there's a dreadful smell by this till...it smells like  the drains"
Eileen ( sniffing) " oh lord you're right...I've just been outside, I wonder if I stepped in something"
They checked their shoes
and waved the air like old ladies
I grabbed my shopping and legged it
I should have known
In the pocket of my hooded top
was the hastily bagged up  and forgotten about waste products of
Of one smelly arsed bulldog.

  1. OMG ~ that is very funny. You didn't drop it in a pot plant as you exited the store? It reminds me of silly pranks that people would get up to at Christmas parties with prawn heads (on a Friday afternoon before bank opening on Monday morning)

  2. Oh dear! I wonder if the odour lingered after you left, or did it speedily vanish, thus establishing you as a 'marked man'? I think you ought to go back to that store and find out.

      I have sat in a cinema before now.. Thinking that the guy in front of me was " selling a bit high" and that turned out that it was another dog bag full of shite in my pocket

    2. That's very worrying, J.G. As if once wasn't bad enough, but TWICE! Now I'm going to have to make an effort to stop my nose twitching every time I open up your blog. Look, it's doing it right now!

  5. You should have just acted innocent and said, You're right, there's a dreadful smell. Probably that council refuse lorry that just went past. Now how much do I owe you?

  9. John... new rule... the way we check the pockets of our clothes before washing you need to check your pockets before leaving your home !
    Or wear a car freshener around your neck at all times.
    Another great story.

  17. How funny! Reminds me of the time our pet turtle died... we wrapped it in a kleenex intending to bury it and our Mom picked it up and shoved it in her pocket... all day... eweeee! But I bet even a dead turtle smells better than dog shit.
