Short story
There was a knock on the door.
My other half shouted, "I'll get it".
Me thinking it could be one of those
bible bashers waited a while.
Went to the front door;
Seeing a clipboard in his hands said,
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
He replied nervously, " We were wondering,
How much do you drink on a weekly basis".
Being I was annoyed
at the impertinence of the question said.
" Not that it's anything to do with you, If I do drink
It's no more than a couple of pints a week".
He replied, " Thanks in that case we won't be
calling on you again".
As he scurried off,
I shouted. "Fine by me".
As the wife closed the door,
She turned and glared at me,
As she said.
"He was talking about milk!"

KNOCK ON THE DOOR
One evening hoping for a quiet night in,There was a knock on the door.
My other half shouted, "I'll get it".
Me thinking it could be one of those

Went to the front door;
Seeing a clipboard in his hands said,
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
He replied nervously, " We were wondering,
How much do you drink on a weekly basis".
Being I was annoyed
