    Default Completely lacquered!

    It’s a lovely warm sunny afternoon…Grandad is sitting in his lawn chair in the back garden drowsily watching his ten-year old grandson, Billy, muck about in the flowerbeds with a small spade.
    After a while the Billy wakes him up and says, “Grandad, give me a fiver!”
    Grandad splutters, “What! When I was your age we had to earn our money running errands or doing chores. We didn’t get it just handed to us, you cheeky wee so-and-so!”
    Billy says, “OK, Grandad, give me a chore to do”
    Damn, he thought, he’s called my bluff, I’ll have to work a flanker here!
    “Okey-doke lad”, he says, pointing at an earthworm coming out of a hole in the recently turned soil “If you can push that worm back down that hole without damaging it…I’ll give you a fiver!”
    Billy thinks for a few minutes while his Grandad chuckles to himself, then goes in the house and returns with a can of hair lacquer. Picking up the worm he gives it several coats with the hairspray and after a few seconds it dries quite stiff and he’s able to push it down the hole dead easy.
    “How’s that Grandad?”, he asks.
    Grumbling and out-manoeuvred, the Grandad gives him a fiver and the lad is off to the shops like a rocket.

    Coming back an hour later, his Grandad calls him over and hands him another fiver.
    “But Grandad, you've already paid me”, exclaims the honest lad.
    “I know I did Billy…but this one’s from your Gran...”
