HARD EARNED TIP

Waffler was driving down The North Circular rd at about 10 pm,

when a guy stepped out from the side of the Mater Hospital dressed

in Striped Pyjamas and a Bathing robe draped over them with

a Big Bandage wrapped around his head, hailed his Taxi.

"Take me to Clontarf",he says in a rough Dublin accent,as he gets in the 

back seat.

Waffler looks over his shoulder at him,All he could see of his face was a 

pair of big green piercing eyes staring at him ,and a beard covering his jaw.

"Go",says the guy,"I have done a bunk out of that Hospital".

"What happened to you ?",says Waffler as he pulls off.

"I fell off a window ledge when i tried to climb in the window

of my house,i forgot my key",says he.

They get to his house in lovely and posh Clontarf .

"How much do i owe you ,Bud?",he says.

The fare was ten euros and the guy says,

"Tell you what,I will give you an extra fiver if you will give me a bunt(lift)

over them gates",

Waffler looks at the gates and they are fairly high.

"  Ok",he says and they both get out of the Taxi.

Waffler puts his back against the gates,locks his hands together

and the guy steadies his slippers on his feet and climbs onto

Waffler's hands and grabs onto the top of the gate and with help from Waffler 

ends up on the top of the Gate.

"I'm stuck",he wails,"help me get down from here".

Waffler thinks to himself,"How do i get myself in these situations?".

He looks up and the guy is hanging on ,and the guy says, "Just push me over".

The Waffler pushes him and the next thing he hears is a big thud  on 

the other side of the gate.

"Aaaah",that hurt",says a voice from the other side of the gate.

"Are you ok?",says the Waffler.

"I'll live",says the guy.

Next a hand appears at the top of the gate and the guy says,

"Thanks,Taxi-man,High Five".

So they High five and the guys stumbles over to the door.

Waffler says to himself,as he heads off,"That was a hard earned tip".
