My dad is the king of the chief O parents.
Back home, we used to have a pool, like a
completely full, normal backyard pool. Since all the kids have
moved out, he got lazy with it and it's just
become empty, completely dry pool. He then got a letter
maybe at that last year from the council saying we
need to come over and do a routine pool gate inspection.
(01:32):
It's going to come, of course, yeah, to make sure
you know, obviously, like for safety reasons one hundred and
fifty dollars, but you have it's mandatory. And Dad's like, well,
there's no water in the pool. So he calls up
the council and says, don't buy the coming over. I'm
not paying one hundred and fifty dollars, like the pool's
completely empty, and she said, well, if you're not using
the pool for anything else, even if it's empty, we
(01:53):
still have to come and inspect it you're kidd it,
and that goes we are, and we're not. She's oh,
what are you using it for? And then just off
the top of his head, he goes, oh, it's a
it's a rock garden. Now, he's like a rock garden.
It's like, so if we came over and just just
checked it, it was a rock garden and you wouldn't have
to pay the one hundred fifty dollars. He goes, yeah,
that's fine, come over. So he then spent the next
(02:15):
like probably ten days scouring, collecting, collecting rocks and just
literally like going down to the tip, Like we live
near a beach. He was pulling back these He's seventy seven.
What's he going to find at the tip?
