Yesterday whilst having a telephone conversation with my wife about a Rat we have got living in the garden, which so far has evaded death by trapping, and is now being lured within range of my late father in Law's trusty old Webley Vulcan .22 air rifle with currant bun as bait.
I inadvertantly due to a faulty prestle went live across the division with...
Me: " Yes, I saw him coming up the garden, I took aim and fired, but I missed and he ran away"
Mrs M: (unheard by the operator) "will it kill him then, or will it just wound him?"
Me: "Oh yes, had I been a better shot it would have killed him outright".
I got an urgent call from the control room asking me if I was OK, followed by an amusing telephone conversation , during which I explained I was detailing to my wife how I was attempting to exterminate our unwelcome visitor, and not as they had supposed blowing away some baddie I had encountered.
