DRY CLEANERS AND CHICKEN SUIT PERKS
I was in a Party right Greg. I was at one of my functions
as we call them and as I was mooching around I was aware that
my Dry Cleaner was there. So I thought, "Oh it's the
fella from the dry cleaners". Right Greg listen to this
-he was wearing my suit right.
You're joking!
No, wearing my suit. So I went across to him and said "Aha!",
hoping he'd colour at the cheek and say, "Oh this is
awful"….but he just kept his hands in his pockets
and said, " How are you?"
.....and so I said "Great" and after a couple of
minutes I said, " Is that a suit like my suit or is that
it?" and he went, " No that's your one…."
So I said right……"
So he said, "This happens don't you know?" So I
said "No!" He said,"Dry Cleaners….of course
we do, but unless you'd run into me here you'd be none the
wiser….we're dry cleaners, you get them back fresh as
a daisy the next day…..all dry cleaners if we're stuck
for something to wear we let our wives and relatives…..We're
dry cleaners, we dry clean".
And I was never aware of this phenomena you see and so he
could tell I was a little taken back and so……I said,
"Look I need it really, I need it tomorrow, I've another
one of these to go to….because it's a formal suit, it's
beautifully…that's how I could tell it's mine…it's
velvet you see….
He said, " Here look, don't get upset, I'll give you
the big treatment on it"
So I didn't talk anymore about it. The next day I went in
there and he wasn't actually there, his daughter was serving.
I told here and she again was blank faced.
"No dry cleaners we do wear other people's clothes,
I'm sorry you didn't know that". So there's that. She
then gave me my suit in one of those big black opaque suit
bags which obviously was my gift which was nice, but still
I was rankled a little.
I then go off to this function. I have a car waiting outside.
I go off to the changing room, because I'm doing something
else during the day….I'm in a shirt and stuff. I unzip
the black suit bag - "There's a Chicken Suit inside !"
"A Chicken suit inside Greg!"
- Mad Laughter-
So I'm stuck. I put the chicken suit on with the big rubber
feet and those huge things hanging under the chin"
"I've got to look out of the beak of it Greg!"
-Laughter-
I'm walking around quite a formal do and everyone's too polite
and I'm looking out of the beak of this big chicken suit and
as I'm circulating and thinking I've got over the worst, a
fella came up and said,:
"That's my Chicken Suit…….."
