puzzling moments

Post by **spot** » Mon May 10, 2010 5:14 am

I'm fully aware that I'm more subject to hallucinations than the average mortal but even so. Every time this morning that I've opened Felicity's toy storage hamper (a space I've never yet found the bottom to) I've heard (from deep within) the ululating drawn-out cry of a muezzin calling the faithful to prayer. When I shut the hamper lid, it stops. When I open the hamper lid and move a toy or two, it starts again.

I haven't the slightest explanation. If I'm taken before nightfall, let it be a warning to you all.

You've nothing to worry about yet...

The time to worry is when it's happening with the lid closed and then every time you open the lid it stops :sneaky:

That's the sort of mind Alfred Hitchcock would have paid good money for.

Not sure if Felicity still sleeps in the day, but if she does, when she goes down I suggest you climb in the box for a nap too, the lulling sounds will help you drift into a wondrous sleep never experienced before...

This reminded me of the time I was training some people at a Mothercare warehouse. We'd found a working baby monitor, amongst the returned stuff and put the speaker bit in the back of a long dark trailer under some parcels.. We just waited til' the bloke who was loading said trailer, went back in.. A quite passable ghostly moan was sent through the mike bit, and the guy shot out of there like Usain Bolt...:yh_rotfl

In a similar vein...

Picture this - a funeral parlour, a body preparation and storage area and a pair of walkie-talkies - endless amusement for those of us with sadistic tendancies and a taste for tormenting the more 'nervous' members of staff........... :sneaky::yh_rotfl
