Beat This!

[andy-hughes]

A friend at work was enjoying a day off at home when a parcel delivery man knocked at the door, asking if he would take in a parcel for next door.

Being a good neighbour, he naturally agreed, expecting maybe a CD from Amazon or similar.

Next minute, the parcel guy is staggering up the drive carrying ... a canoe!

[ummmm]

lol. I hope your friend has the space.

[carrust]

LOL. Does he live on Sh1t creek without a paddle.

[aelmpvw]

not that chap who faked his death and was jailed for fiddling the insurance surely?

[tamborine]

did he assail some verbal

[Sipowicz]

Oarsome!

[grasscarp]

You canoo be serious!

[stewey]

If that situation happened to me I think I'd be keeled over.

[Svejk]

Should of asked, 'canoe beat this?'

[daffy654]

I once had to take in a very large table for my neighbour. I had agreed before I saw the size of the parcel.

Talking about canoes and keels: a "serious" canoe will have a definite keel on it, whereas a little puddle-jumper will just have the appearance of one.

hahaha that's given me the best lol today.

[Brinjal]

Funny

[pixie373]

Hate it when that happens.

[woofgang]

I took in an assembled racing bike for my neighbour, but that beats my claim to fame!

[anneasquith]

no paddles ?

[carrust]

I once had a canoe with a gas fire attached to it. Somebody quickly confiscated it......The moral of the story being..You can't have your kayak and heat it...
