Spelt heart attack

Well what would you do when a package arrives at my warehouse, the guys out the back receive it, walk into the office and say here you are dave and proceed to throw the express post bag to you from 10 metres away.

i knew what was being delivered today from bintel and there was no way i was dropping that package.

gee time stands still whilst a package with a Televue 5x powermate is in the air.

This happened aprox 10 minutes ago and i have now calmed down enough to write it down!!!

By the way, i caught it!

I then proceeded to throw a 40 kg compressor at the warehouse guy and say "catch"

The ambulance has just left with the warehouse guy and the local workplace safety inspector is an astronomer and upon inspecting the televue, thought my reaction was fully justified!

Sounds as though this guy, if he had another brain, it would be definitely lonely. I would get rid of him for sure, definitely a couple of kangaroos loose in the top paddock.

Actually time lasts exactly five times as long! Plenty of time to catch it digger! Could have rolled a smoke & made a cuppa in that time.

Me want pictures of it lol..

Wouldn't matter if the parcel only had a pair of socks in it, the dope shouldn't be throwing parcels anyway!
