A piece of Italy comes to CBD wining and dining
CBD Toowoomba took on an Italian feel at lunch-time on Thursday with our own Leaning Tower of Pisser.
Husband and wife Whispers operatives heading for lunch in the CBD spotted a tall, middleaged man in suit, tie and briefcase near the corner of Margaret and Victoria Sts.
However, to their shock, they watched as the chap in the suit suddenly unzipped, leaned into a wall and gave a footpath plant a watering.
Well, we are in drought. By then the couple’s full attention was on the suited chap who, after finishing the garden sprinkling, simply zipped up and walked over to the bus shelter and sat down.
He then opened the briefcase from which he retrieved a bottle of wine and guzzled.
The couple pointed out the chap to security officers, but in no time a police and ambulance crew were on the scene... well, there are street cameras you know.
KEY TO SITUATION
INNER-CITY office worker was left red-faced this week when he went to take one of the company cars out on a job.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not turn the key in the ignition.
Stumped, he asked a passing colleague whether he could start the car.
The colleague took the keys and jumped in the driver’s seat – sure enough, no go.
Upon exiting the vehicle, he went to lock the door by pushing the button – only for the lights on the car beside him to light up in response.
LITTLE MISS TEXT
TOOWOOMBA lass received a text message on Tuesday morning from her eight-yearold niece which read: “Aunty can you pick me up and drop me off (at school) tomorrow”.
The woman assumed that her sister had asked her daughter to send her the text so later she called her sister to ask what time her niece needed to be picked up.
However, her sister replied: “That’s weird, I received a message from you saying ‘yes, no problems (with love hearts)’. I knew nothing about this until I read the message that I apparently sent”.
Appears little miss just wanted her aunty to take her to school and decided to make her own arrangements.
WET WEEK
AT LEAST one Toowoomba woman hasn’t exactly welcomed the rain this week.
Out at a show on Wednesday night, she slipped outside the theatre for a smoke and sat down at a table only to realise too late that the wet seat had soaked through her jeans — and she had go back inside to watch the show with a lot of other people.
The next day she was attending an incident on a North Toowoomba St when she met up with a colleague who, unlike her, held an umbrella aloft.
As the pair greeted each other, the colleague with umbrella suddenly turned around, tipping a considerable amount of water from the top of her umbrella right down the back of hapless lass.
DOG GONE!
WITH a house inspection imminent, Toowoomba chap dropped his two dogs off to his dad’s place and left them in the yard but failed to tell his father.
Dad doesn’t have dogs so when he came home from work and found two mutts in his yard, he herded them out into the street.
Whispers hears Dad was left with the council fees.
