Bear

[webofevil]

In a shop on the way to work yesterday there were two teenage bhangramuffins. One was over-excited; harmless, but jabbering loudly to his mate about something that had happened to him on a bus, almost yelling in glee. “Cut it out, man,” interrupted the other one, embarrassed. “Shit, we’re in a shop now. What j’wanna get?”

His friend a put a lid on it for a while, but couldn’t contain himself for long. Soon he was back up to much the same volume, but this time talking about a £1,000 watch he’d broken and was having to pay £50 to get mended so that his stepdad didn’t kill him. Normally, apparently, this watch is kept in a safe. “J’see inside the safe?” asked the quiet one. “Yeah, man!” said the unquiet one, and I swear as I left the shop I heard him say this: “A bear could shit in it!” Does this mean it’s spacious, or actually quite small? Or is that probably not what I heard?

The 'Woods' was standard issue to all Wells Fargo offices. For many years branches in the North West were robbed by highly organised, urbanised bears, who would as an act of defiance, take a dump in the strong box before leaving, and would...

No, I can't go on. I have no idea what those guys were talking about. A friend of mine once said 'The crows are too far from the corn' at the end of a sentence and we all sat around and nodded at his wisdom, for about a minute, until one of us said 'Eh?'
