Title: Static Grass
Post by: Trent on November 20, 2014, 08:19:57 PM
Thought you lot would appreciate this one.

So there I was, foolishly locked out of my house, keys locked in along with phone and wallet (and newly grassed boxfile layout effort). Nothing to do but go for a few walks around the block waiting for the others to come back.

About once an hour, I got back to the door, knocked on it a few times. Looked through the letter box. No-on home. Ran through this about four times.

Finally, my housemate gets back and lets me in.

A little later, two police officers show up with another housemate. They're saying to him: 'Yeah, the guy was seen knocking on the door threateningly and looking in through the letter box ...'

I introduce myself. Oh no officer, all a misunderstanding; at least people round here keep an eye out, sorry for wasting your time, etc, etc.

They're just about to leave, when one of them looks round at the table where sit two large bags of Static Grass. His eyes widen. Thinking quickly, but not thoroughly, I say:

'It's okay mate, it's only grass ...'

Should this be in the jokes section - even if it is real??
