Things people always say and my response.

The common one you will make it rain, and I say if it does I won’t charge you for the extra rinse.

That was quick; I know I’m good aren’t I. :)

You missed a bit, a lad who worked for me said to her “that’s very unusual give me your telephone number” ;D

I have been approached on the street and in supermarkets by women who have said “I’m desperate for a window cleaner” and I just start laughing and then watch the embarrassment. ;D

What you favorite replies.

Roy

"Get in the corners"....
I always do the middles and leave the corners.

Missed a bit, yes its the deliberate mistake, well done.

If any of my customers ever look grumpy when I call to clean or collect I always give them a big cheery smile and say, 'I love it when my customers look pleased to see me'.

It normally elicits an apology and an excuse such as, 'I was just thinking where my wallet is, sorry'.

When they ask how I managed to get around the back of the house when the gate was locked.
I just tell them I used to be a burglar ;D

I used to say, 'Have ladders will travel'.

But now I ask for keys.

When people say to me you missed a bit.

I just turn round and say just the one bit.

That don't know what to say then

Also when they say you will make it rain.
I turn round and say lets hope so my garden needs watering

And when people say that was quick.
I say Yes i'm getting the hang of it now.

Jeff,

I'm no-where near as old as you, though I do like some black 'n' white films, from a historical point of view only; mind.

Anyway, so that's where the phrase comes from?

I can remember that as well, all films are black and white in this house, we still have a B+W television. Can't afford a new one.

My response to :

"you`ve missed a bit"  is  "i` ain`t finished yet" !

and

"get in them corners"  is  "i don`t fit"

both always work  ;D

In answer to " you'll make it rain " I normally say, yes and I am working on agreeing a contract with Saudi Arabia to make it rain there as well !

In answer to " do you clean windows for anyone"  no only for those who pay me !

"Have gun - will travel" reads the card of a man.
A knight without armour in a savage land
His fast gun's for hire neath the galling wind
A soldier of fortune is the man called...........
Paladin.

How sad is that? Not only know the words, I can (sort of) sing the tune too ;D
