So all week I've been jogging through parks kicking up stones, looking behind trees, shrubs and vegetation, hoping to find something else, and what do you think I found?

NOTHING!!! NOT A SINGLE THING!!!

Dejected, I visit the local grocery store to buy myself a well earned drink. On the way out, I notice an old lady struggling with her groceries. So as you do, I offered to lend her a hand.

Normally, when I approach old ladies they smack me over the head with their hand bag. I think this is where casually jogging with a pram helps

Anyway after loading her goodies into the back of her car she turns to me and says. "My dear boy, you've been so kind, if you don't mind helping me with just one more thing I'd be very greatful."

"Gladly. What is it I can do for you?" I respond.

Old lady - "Could you please take this piece of steel out of my boot and dispose of it as you wish. My husband put it in there before he did his back and it's too heavy for either of us to remove.



She then goes on to tell me it's SCAT, stroked and forged... But I don't know what any of this means.

I happily remove it for her and suggest to her it might be worth a pretty penny, and that I would list it here on CC to sell, and forward her the proceeds. She refused, and INSISTED I JUST take it, particularly as her husband no longer had any need for it.

So how could I refuse?


Moral of the story: Rodknock - YOU'RE RIGHT AGAIN!
I have NO skills. I couldn't find anything else in the park
