asmith Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think this thread that Rob started really sums up his life as a tobacco baron. The initial thread specified 'a week as a cigar retailer.' When Rob say a week he really means four days. It all started with the enthusiasm of a fat kid in a candy store on Monday yet he failed to complete his task by the end of the week. I was giving Rob a days grace to complete the thread on Monday but alas its not to be. So I thought I would finish it for you all. Friday morning woke up usual time before everybody else and feel like ****. Must still be the affects of Wednesday night's State of Origin party (see Thursday's instalment). However I cannot appear to be weak in front of the staff and family so will tell all that am hit with 24hr flu. Go to breakfast to keep up appearances with the boys before playing with my breakfast and not really eating anything. Call Lisa to pre-warn her I'm not well, this is a ploy I use a bit so that I can go up to my office and sleep. Lisa hasn't cottoned onto my sneaky little kiddie kips I have in my office, only Homer Simpson and myself are this skilful. Arrive at office coffee waiting for me from Lisa I tell her I'm really unwell but will fight through it. She tells me to go home as I'm no good here in the office anyway. From her tone I'm not sure if she means that I'm no help today or in general, I'm thinking the later that way she rolls her eyes at me. Go to my office for a kip to prepare for the midday poker game I have to play online. I send out text to all telling them there will be no cigar on the deck this afternoon, this just adds to the 24hr flu disguise. Half way through poker game and Smithy rocks up I cough a couple of times and say 'Stand back mate I'm infected.' He too see through my hangover lie and lumps **** on me and says he was really only dropping by to say hi to Lisa and Dina. Never really liked him as en employee, drinking and smoking on the job, I'm sure he also stole from the till. I send a couple more emails and grab a Monte 2 for the drive home. Leave Lisa and Dina to hold the office together as I race out the door at 130pm. Into my Jeep stereo on full bore to the sounds of Journey and Reo Speedwagon, home in 30mins before the traffic. I have pulled off the perfect lie and the perfect week and no one suspected a thing. I can have a quick relax before the kids arrive home. What a week!!

smokum Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I doubt he is pulling the wool over Lisa's eyes . She would probabl;y prefer he stayed home anyway. What the living hell is a kip ? You guys say some weird ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Smithy, thanks for filling in the blanks. If you think Journey and Speedwagon is bad, in an earlier installment he admitted to listening to Dido while sitting alone in the dark drinking cognac.....

So what would one smoke while listening to South California Purple?
