He'd been out having a dram (work do) and made his weary way home with a good drink on board, in the dark.
He got to the back door and thought well I can't find my keys, and I can't get in. What am I going to do now?
So he decided to go in the dog flap at the bottom of the door (as you do).
He couldn't fit through the flap though, so he took off his jacket and laid it on the ground, and tried again.
Finally after a right old struggle, he managed to get himself squeezed through the dog flap and landed panting on the kitchen floor.
He pulled himself together, gave his drunken head a shake, and remembered that his jacket was still lying outside on the garden path.
So he thought he'd better get the back door open to get out & pick up his jacket.
Although he'd a good skinful, he did manage to look at the back door closely, and noticed now that he was inside that the key was in the lock.
He had a funny thought, oho! and without turning the key, he tried the back door ...
And discovered it had been open the whole time!

Funny.
ReplyDeleteI did expect it to be somebody else's house though.
Had an ex like that. Crawled through a window, left it open and then cranked up the heat because it was cold. The door was unlocked because she forgot to lock it when she left that morning. I got home a few minutes later and figured all this out. Yes, she was a natural blonde, could do math calculations in her head, and didn't have a lick of common sense!
