lost in translation or helpful harry


There has been a number of house robberies around these parts lately, in one case a mate had everything in the house taken, including his shoes and the chocolates in the fridge....

So when I went away last week (for 2 weeks) I didnt wanna tell the newspaper guy to cancel my newspaper for 2 weeks, bit like advertising you're gonna be away and for how long.

So I asked the maid to get next doors maid to collect my paper each morning.....the 50 cents for a paper not read each day sounded like good insurance...

turns out she explained the entire story to the delivery guy on his push bike and told him to just push the papers each day under the door instead....

Thanks Pembantu!

PS - but lucky i didnt get robbed , this time.
