TESCOS

Like the suit? I got it from Top Man. Ironic in a way because I've always been a bottom man. When my mum saw it she didn’t let me down.
“Why didn’t you go to a seconds shop?”
" Because I’m earning now, Mum. DVD sales are going through the roof, I sold three last week. I don't have to buy seconds now, I can afford new."
"I know that but you could have bought two seconds for the price of that. You can't beat seconds I always say, they're perfect."
"No they're not, that's why they're called seconds. Because there's something wrong with them."
"Yes but you can't see what's wrong with them. "
"You could see what was wrong with that Marks and Spencers seconds pullover you bought me the other week, there were three arms in it. "
"Anyway before you wasted your money at Top Man did you think of Tescos? They've started selling clothes now you know."
Not just clothes either. You can buy nearly anything at Tescos nowadays. Petrol, holidays, insurance - they can insure you against buying a crap holiday from Tescos - , garden furniture, books. You can even have a Tesco loan - you'll need a Tesco loan by the time you've been to Tescos holidays, insurance, petrol, garden furniture...... It can’t be long before they have massage parlours....
"Come on in sir, don't be shy, that’s it……I think it would be better if you left your trolley outside."
"But somebody might pinch my hobnobs."
"Only if you request it. "
”That’s better. Your first time here is it?
“Yes. Have I to lie on this table?”
"Well don't you think you'd better take your clothes off first? Then perhaps you'd like to take advantage of our special offer made in conjunction with our hairdressing and do-it-yourself departments? A blow wave, a blowlamp and a blow job, all for fifty pounds." There could be Tesco funerals. 'Plant or Burn'. Your choice. Only a hundred pounds, and clubcard points too'.
