i went to croydon yesterday to have a beer with an old friend, after a while his step son joined us who is about thirty.
knowing him a long time and knowing him to be to be slightly eccentric i.e buying a "small pig" as a pet that grew into the biggest pig you have ever seen etc; etc.
half way through the afternoon he gets a phone call and then says....oh no i`ve got to go to work tonight, so i asked him what he was going to do, eerrrr i work on the door at a night club....
me, your having a laugh you are about five foot six no previous combat training of any sort and you are working on the door?
him, yeah i am the front of house diplomat who smiles at everybody and welcomes them, there are two absolute monsters who mill around inside.
me, o.k any funny stories?
him, well last week a guy said to me, " i am going to take the till and all the money, do you think YOU can stop me?"
no he said, but he will, calling over a man mountain with tattoos all over his head and face...just looking at this guy made him back down!
me being interested, what is this guy like?
well said matey, we have to keep a frog in a box handy incase he goes into one and we can`t stop him.....me, what do you mean a FROG in a box???
this guy has a phobia about frogs and if he sees one he`s off like a shot, so if he ever gets too heavy with anybody, we get the frog out!!
it might not come across as that funny now but the combination of matey a REALLY nice kind person and the thug with the frog phobia made me crack up in fits of laughter!!!!!!!!!!!!
