Hello Chockerstone lovelies.
Taking the dog for a walk and having control over the situation is an interesting theme Mr ajfclark, and Mr Wollemi. It reminds me of an incident that Derek my M10 love, told me about recently.

A curly haired boulderer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his car fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home.

On the way home he stopped at the local store and bought a bucket and 10 litres of paint. He also stopped by the feed section and picked up a couple of chooks and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchase home.

While he was scratching his head he was approached by an unlucky lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get to Jory St ?"

The curly haired boulderer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my house is very close to that location I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot."

Since he was a boulderer, the unlucky lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the bucket, carry the bucket in one hand, put a chook under each arm and carry the goose in your other hand?"
"Why thank you very much," he said, and proceeded to walk the lady home.
On the way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time."
The lady looked him over cautiously then said, "I am a lonely lady without a husband to defend me, how do I know that when we get in the alley you won't hold me up against the fence, and have your way with me?"

The curly haired boulderer said, "Jeez lady! I'm carrying a bucket, 10 litres of paint, two chooks, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold you up against the fence and do that?"

The lady replied, "Well, just set the goose down, cover him with the bucket, put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."

So the boulderer in his excitement hastily put the goose down, but it immediately trotted off, and as he chased after it the chooks flapped free, and the paint fell out of the bucket, leaving him with a great deal of frustration, especially as the lady had thought better of the moment due to all the commotion, and would not respond to his calling after her (using a word that suspiciously sounded like the one in that video clip), as she left.

The moral of the story according to Derek, is that a goose in the hand is worth two chooks in the bush any day, but he tells me that he doesn’t think that the boulderer has worked that out yet, as much to Dereks’ amusement he keeps trying to mount that problem!
