Default Nine MSN Cobra story

Hi all. I was just over on Nine MSN looking at the Current Affair reports when I stumbled on the story about tradesmen. There is a Cobra on the video icon.

http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/

Go to 'Best and worst adds' then go to page 4 and you will see the Cobra story....

Mmmm cashed up Boguns ehhh..!!!..

..always knew I was paying those bloody tradesmen far to much..


Bernie

Why are you a fitter and (idiot)turner ?
Because I wasn't smart enough to be a Brickie
Why are you a Brickie ?
Cause I wasn't smart enough to become a Plumber
Why are you a Plumber ?
Wasn't smart enough to be a Chippie
Why a Chippie ?
Not smart enough to be a Sparkie

How true

Lawyers started this with:-
$30 for phone attendance
$200 miscleanious expenses
$500 to shuffle a piece of paper
etc etc

A friend of mine who is a Plumber decided to take a different direction in life. He went to Uni and studied to be a Neurosurgeon.
After about 2 years of practising brain surgery he decided to go back to plumbing.
I asked him why the change back and he told me that he couldn't handle the pay cut. Ha Ha

I consider myself a plumber, however I take the p!ss out of people rather than their houses. Someone's gotta do it.

Seeing as I am out of work I think I need to do those exercises to make my butt crack bigger and then figure out what to do with my hands to make more than a few bucks.

Better still I'll become a giggalo, still a job on the tool and paid to lie around in bed as well - what a life!

I'm a leco and my build is pushing 6 years...although I'm single I have two kids to look after they are 78 & 80 years old so the cobra must be patient.
