I don't know whats happening, but I'll stay on the line to find out.

Geoffrey has the most unusual phone etiquette. Generally when Geoff is finished repairing a bike he'll call the person and tell them the total. One morning, the bloke, in his usual form misplaced the work order as he called the customer. We can only imagine how the customer felt when they answer the phone only to hear "Marge?! Your total is...hang on a second." than to be placed on hold, to have no idea who called, or why.

"Nice guy..."

"Is that the last Klondike bar? Well I hope you bloody choke on it brother. I don't wish you any harm, just that you choke on it."

Walter!...Ya Know H2O!!

At a restaurant looking for a bit of hydration the bloke asked the barmaid for some "Walter". After several attempts to explain what he wanted he finally yelled "Yeah Walter, You know H 2 O!" He later lamented that he was "batting a thousand with this dummy, she probably doesn't know what H2O is...what do you expect from Billy Frogs."

He told ya so...

As many of you know Geoff is always right. If you asked the bloke he'd explain "I'm never wrong. The only time I was wrong was when I thought I was wrong, but I was actually right." This comes in handy when it comes to predicting the weather. Once during a rainstorm, the bloke mentioned that "it might rain later." He was right again...

More Bad News for Bottom Brackets...

One day the bloke spent all morning pulling a bottom bracket from a bike. When he was finally able to get it off, he exclaimed "It's dry as daylight in there!" Apparently in reference to the lack of grease on the bottom bracket. "What a bunch a clowns."

Where's he been?

The Bloke's blog is back, and under new management! As Geoff would say "If you can't handle it, say so." And let's not even get in to "If not? Why not?" The only thing to say is: He's back. So "leave your 50 cents in the cup" and get ready for some tales of grandeur.
