Last week Mr Fink went to pick 'Little Fink' up from Cubs. There is usually a quiet time at the end, where Akela gives out the badges they have earned, they are given any important notices and they stand quietly to salute the Union Flag as it is put away for the night.I forgot that Mr Fink was at this peaceful place and wanted to ask him to get a loaf of bread on the way home, so I phoned his mobile.
So during the quiet period, at full volume, Mr Fink's phone bellowed out "Counting flowers on the wall" a country and western song made famous in 'Pulp Fiction'. He quickly turned the phone off (he thought), getting the evil eye from the other parents and Akela. When I decided to send a text to make sure he got the message.
Mr Fink's text alert is Foghorn Leghorn shouting, "I said, I said - alooky here boy, looky here".
I would have paid good money to see his face when THAT went off!
What goes around comes around because - I was taking the minutes at a Departmental Board meeting at the hospital this week (imagine 10 people - the top of their field - discussing the intricasies of all things X-Ray and medical) when all of a sudden, my pencil case starts vibrating across the table in front of everyone. Oh just shoot me now why don't you.
(Before the meeting, I had switched my phone to 'silent' and put it in my pencil case.)
I'm not sure if they knew what was making it move as I didn't get it out, but everytime they look at me now, they give me a 'knowing' look.
Mr Fink 1 v Mrs Fink 1 - we are even.
