Enchanted Door Bell.

Zoomup

Once upon a time, in the land of the simple country folk an electrician was summoned to fit a new lamp in a country cottage. He had agreed to attend during the afternoon. He duly arrived and at the front door summoned the occupants by pressing the bell push affixed to the front door frame. No body came to open the door, but the bell push magically glowed with pulsating blue colours. The electrician watched in amazement. He was entranced by the magical light display. Suddenly a voice came through the door bell push but no person could be seen. Was it the fairies? No, it was the householder speaking. Have you a parcel he said. The electrician said “no, I have come to fit your new lamp”. 

“Oh shi*” said the voice, we are out walking the dog. Can you wait for an hour.

    That was your opportunity to follow the advice you were given in an earlier thread.

    “No”

    Or charge for the time.

    If they were an hour away, had they already walked for an hour (and, therefore, had to walk another hour back); or were they the sort of people who drive miles in order to walk the dog(s)?

    Indeed it was thus so. The electrician left the enchanted door bell push cottage and bu**ered off. Later the lady of the cottage communicated by use of the magic mobile communicator offering apologies, and asking the electrician if he could come back to the cottage. She offered to pay him more upon a second visit,  surprisingly the electrician was not keen.

    These wise words from the wise wordsmith come to mind.

     

    “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on both of us.”
