The Ooogle Floogle man
H
Arold Pearson realised that there was a problem, when on getting shaved
and releasing the water that he had wet slippers and his feet were wet.
Later in the day when Harold washed his hands after doing some
household chores he noticed that there was some water on the bathroom
floor, so he attempted to remove it with the kitchen mop or perhaps
spread it as most men do. Then on refilling it and releasing water, he
realised that something was a leaking. Now what to do about it, Harold
picked up the local paper and there before his eyes he read an advert
puddles the emergency plumber NO JOB TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL arrangements
for "BIG PUDDLES" to visit the next day were made on the telephone. So
for the rest of the day Harold minimised his use of the washbasin. The
next morning PUDDLES arrived, Harold escorted him through to the
bathroom, whereupon PUDDLES took one look and pushing his cap back and
scratching his head said
"Oh dear me! Looks like your "oogle floogle"has gone"
"But don't worry I have a spare in my van". With that PUDDLES sets to
work with a rather large hammer and chisel and within a few minutes
Harold's plated taps together with the pipe-work and washbasin are no
more In addition there is a hole in the wall to the hall which when
Harold mutters something and points at it, PUDDLES says quickly
"Don't worry about that Mr Pearson, I have in van a few bricks and a
bag of plaster, but we do need to get to the"oogle floogle" first ".
With that he starts to attack the floor soon there is a hole in it just
as one of the water pipes that should have had a tap on it decides to
deposit a few gallons of water into the hole. Harold not being a stupid
man realises that most of this water will be going into the flat below.
A moment later there was a knock at the door Harold opened it,
surprise, surprise it is the man from below , who says
"Is there a problem, can I help ?"
Harold thinking quickly
"Yes please, now your were an airline steward at one time weren't
you?"
"Yes" came the reply". SoHarold asks him
"Could you please throw my mother in law a lifejacket and instruct her
how to put it on and inflate it, or I'll be more than drowned when my
wife returns to this mess and a drowned mother The man from the flat
below walks through to the bathroom looks round and says to
Harold
"Let me look at the U-bend please" and on inspection of it says to both
Harold and puddles.
"The problem is that the it is blocked and the water is coming up the
breather". At this point PUDDLES starts to collect his tools and says
to Harold
"Now you did agree to pay me in cash didn't you?". After a few heated
expletives PUDDLES departs and Harold goes into his kitchen and sits
his eyes light upon the advert for PUDDLES, then they scan across the
page to another advert which reads
