I can't believe I've been ripped off

[hollydolly]

I paid a carpenter to make me a double bed and he’s done a bunk

Maybe provide him with a cut-and-paste illustration of the genuine item and demand he pass the bunk along to someone else.

 

[Beezer]

Sounds like the carpenter had a double scotch while he was making the bed(s).

He saw you as an easy mark?

 

[Georgiagranny]

Nobody else got it?

 

[Beezer]

Oh, I see now.

This was posted in the Humor section. I did actually believe the story, though.

Good one! And your signature's funny too; I just now noticed it.

‘Done a bunk’ is a British expression. That’s why many people would miss the joke it if they didn’t notice the Forum.

True. There are many younger people who try to cheat older people because they assume that our faculties are not all intact. My experiences have involved grocery clerks concealing groceries under the counter or else giving the wrong change or no change at all.

I feel for you Holly, it's just one thing on top of another.

not you as well HC ?.. look at the forum you're in.I've posted it in Humour ...it;s a Joke..

Here in the U.S., we have a bed called a “bunk” bed. It’s one bed on top of another. Parents generally buy them if they have 2 boys or sometimes 2 girls, but usually not girls.

I got the joke, but for Americans, they may have misunderstood due to us having bunk beds.

precisely...so do we have bunk beds we've had them forever....... which is why the joke has a double meaning...doing a bunk means running off.... or disapearing.. but it also means bunk beds...

Blimey I've never known a simply joke to go so mus-understood..

One thing on top of another too subtle for you Holly? Er, are bunk beds one thing on top of another?

Ah! Ok! Sorry!
