Good morning, Michael12 and all!

I've been absolutely crying with laughter!

There have been some roadworks going on for a few days around here, huge heavy noisy machines, barricades, red/white tape wrapped around cones, etc. Resurfacing, whatever they're doing.

One of the road workers is a woman, and she drives some of the large machinery too. Yesterday, she was at one end of the road, walking up carrying loads of heavy stuff to the other end.

She calls to the other end to a man talking to another man ''Phil, hurry up, we haven't got much time.''

He calls back ''In a minute!''

Two minutes pass, and she's still doing various things, so she re-calls ''Phil, HURRY UP!'' He's still yakking!

Then after the 3rd two minutes, she shouts at the top of her voice when he still hasn't appeared ''Phil, get your arse here NOW!''

He appeared to have had the ability of instant teleportation as he was by her side so fast, I don't know how he was physically able to get to her in 0.0 seconds!

I was standing there watching these 2, wheezing with laughter, I was!

When a lady road worker calls, you appear immediately!

Have a good one, all of you!
