What devious ploys have you played out, just to be allowed out on a dive trip / night with the guy's or Girls ?
We are going on a live a board soon, and a friend of mine (Shug) got
his wife drunk on Sunday night,
then started a conversation with her about how much of a shame it was, that he was not going on the live a board, with me and his business partner,
during the merry state of mind his other half was in, she said that he should try and get on it, and even if he was short of cash, she'd pay it for him
so he phoned me, and after a few calls to Red Sea Divers, he's on board
So wondered what ploys you lot have employed to get out for a dive trip, night down the pub, ect.
Another friend of mine ( shug's business partner Peter ) , the 3 of us had booked and payed for a 2 week trip to the Maldives, we booked and payed for it in April, and were going in October,
Peter left it until 36 hours before the flight took off, to tell his Mrs that he was going away !!!!, and even then he had a ploy.
He told Shug to phone him at 10:30 exactly ( so he could make sure his wife was with him when the call came in ) so they could play out this phoney call for the benifit of Peter's wife, the phone call went something like this:
phone rings
Peter: morning shug
shug : Morning peter, peter I really need a holiday and have booked for us both to go away tomorrow evening
Peter: I'm sorry shug but there's no way that I can go on holiday at such short notice
shug is not talking, just listening to peters antics, while peter has a pretend phone call with himself.
Peter: what shug!! ? you've already booked it !!!
Peter: well shug when is it?
Peter: What tomorrow !!!!
Peter: The Maldives!!
Peter: no I'm sorry mate, but you're just going to have to cancel mine
Peter: What 2 weeks holiday !!!!
Peter's wife then is taking an interest in this phone call, and she's asking what it's all about, so Peter puts shug on hold, and gives her the version, that shug has just booked and payed for them both to go to the Maldives for 2 weeks leaving tomorrow, and how irresponsible it is of him to do such a thing, so Peter's wife says, well you do look tired, and you've not been away for 4-5 months, so you deserve a little break, so you should just go, in fact, you tell shug that I've said that it's ok, and is'nt it lucky that we are in Asda, so I can go and buy you some sun tan lotion right now, and any other bits that you might need"
So peter puts on a long face and says ok then, takes shug off hold, and agrees to go, but is telling him off that he really can't do such a thing ever again
can anyone beat these ploys ?
