Some Holiday Fun

So, Linda (a colleage and good mate of mine) and I were shopping in Myer (a department store like the Bay back home) for some Christmas goodies. In the decoration section, we bumped into our other colleague Antonio. I've never mentioned Antonio before, but he's the joker of the bunch. A "fart machine" actually appeared under our desk at one point ... need I say more? Anyhoo, he was looking to buy a tree. We said our how-do-you-dos and we went off to purchase the Christmas crackers, and he went the other way towards the fir trees. As we were leaving the store, I was all "Omigod, we should PAGE Antonio!" and Linda was all "to HOSERY".

So, within seconds, the announcement was made "Attention, Would Myer Customer Antonio Santoro please go to Hosery on the ground floor." We cracked it.

We had such innocent intentions. We thought Antonio-the-joker would get a kick out of this. Little did we know that this little prank would exceed our expectations. What are the chances that as the announcement was made, not one, but TWO of Antonio's old colleagues were also in the store AND HAD HIS MOBILE PHONE NUMBER. They kept calling him and laughing. Antonio was in line to ask a question about some fake fir tree but since the impatient brought-in-for-christmas sales lady kept getting annoyed by his phone ring-ringing, in his fluster he bought the 9 foot tree (that consequently didn't fit in his house).

What are the chances? 1 in 43244453. Precisely priceless.
