Well what a funny lunch break I just had. As per subject, I managed to get hiccups as I walked into a local GC to get some new mint. I'm one of those people who can't manage to hiccup quietly! Anyway, soon there were lots of amused people about, several of whom suggested a shock (as they do).
I joked to one lady that the best chance I'd got of a shock in this place would be if everything was free!
Anyway, got to tills with mint (and a large pot, and a small lantern) and the assistant and the chap in front both joined in ("That's what comes of starting to drink too early in the day!") and it wasn't until the chap walked out leaving me standing holding my plastic and the plants that the assistant suddenly realised she'd charged it to the bloke when I went back to get a second lantern as the first was cracked! Ooops! (Thus rendering my joke correct, as it was about then we realised the hiccups had gone!).
Much laughter all around, and everyone paid the right amount. We were still laughing in the car park!
