He had a couple of trades around.

running upstairs. He goes on, mum, just heading backup to Bunnings.
I said, yeah, righter, do you need anything else?

while you're there, he said, because he was putting together
these draw sets. Yeah, he goes, I'm going to need
a six inch copulating tool. He goes, not the twelve inch,
in the six inch, and he went to go back downstairs.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Anyway, off he goes, and I thought, no, did he
find out? He comes back. He comes back and he
walks upstairs, very dry sense of human my son, and
