A true story from a workmate in Australia. He'd been brought up on a farm and one day there was a blacksnake (a quite seriously venomous snake) in his parents' bedroom. His dad went to fetch his shotgun to deal with the thing, but managed to miss with both barrels. He did however blast a hole in the wardrobe ... and his best suit! He then managed to break the stock of his gun trying to bash the snake.
 
I just walked out from the bathroom in the morning, bursting with pride with the size of the dump I just had.
"Go and have a look of the size of that turd I have just done" I said to the wife. "No way, I don't want to look at that, it's stinks in there"
"Please just go in and have a quick look, it's a good two pounder" I said.
After several minutes of pleading with her, she finally agrees to have a look.
She dashes in pinching her nose & runs back out saying"there's nothing there, you must have flushed it away"
"No, no" I said "it's on the scales"

Coat!
 
Indeed - we had to wait two hours to get serviced in our AirBnB last week, and when he finally turned up he didn't even get his wrench out.
