Hi guys,
How about:
'It was as if it was only yesterday that I remeber my first day in college - yep it was yesterday and this is my first real job. Could you give me a hand with these books as I might need a bit of reading first'
'I don't think it is that serious, I have heard worse screams when people turn the lights on and bigger bangs for that matter'
'Don't worry I am fully insured and my insurance agent helps me fill in the forms, at least he did the last three houses'
'Sub contracting is quite normal Madam, now what was it you wanted: plumber, taxidermist, painter, scientist, lay preacher, ghost hunter or electrican?'
'Yes I do my own accounts. All I want you to remember is that cash is best and for technical / safety reasons I dont do cheques'
'I know you think it is a bit pricey to change a light bulb in your living room, but it is all this health and safety. It is the cost of the hard hat, high vis vest, googles, ear defenders, flame proofgloves, lanyard and scaffolding; not to mention the paperwork'
Best wishes
Rex
