Going Too Far

Thought I would play a practical joke on daughter P in Australia.
I decided to call her on my mobile phone from the UK but allegedly from a plane in mid Atlantic.
I knew she would not be keen on such an unannounced visit.
Accordingly I set my little plan in motion.To authenticate it I decided to drive through to the airport to get flight times, numbers etc.
I must have got carried away and bought a ticket as I found myself over mid Atlantic with no luggage.
Served me right, and spoiled the joke.

Unexpected Encounter in the Chip Shop

I decided to Leave the City. I therefore carefully laid down my briefcase, umbrella and top hat on the pavement. I headed Out of Town and freedom.
I called in at a take away for a snack and ordered fish and chips. I was astonished to see that the girl that was serving was my own daughter who I thought lived in Australia.
I started to try to frame a question but my mouth just opened and shut like a guppy fish at feeding time.
P told me that I should try to keep up with things a bit more.
Suitably humiliated I left the shop and woke myself up.
ps must make a phone call
