Well that was an odd encounter to start the day. I was out early doors with his lordship Jasper The Dog doing our daily thing in Burrs Country park; when were approached, I say approached more rushed by one of the local neanderthals . I swear this guy was 6ft7 built like a brick outhouse and with no discernable neck. The type of bloke you could hit with a coal shovel full in the face and it would have no effect.. Well he leaned right into my face and asked Are you that knob that talks to his dog? Now this chap had a dog with him one of those American pit-bull types it wasnt on a lead but in some kind of harness like a bondage outfit you would see on one of those dodgy websites... Not that Ive ever looked you understand, Ive just heard others talk. While trying to workout if his dog was a threat to Jasper The Dog (it wasnt it was a very friendly dog) I said the first thing that popped into my head Well of course I do, are you telling me you dont talk to your dog? I could see with his slightly glazed expression the half dozen brain cells were hard at work, a few moments later we had a reply.. Well yea but you make that dog talk dont ya hes still at this point right in my face. Oh I see what you mean, you mean like a ventriloquist dont you I answered taking a few steps back just in case a haymaker came my way! There was a slight pause while the brains cells re,engaged then he said A ven what!? he asked A ventriloquist; you know someone who can throw his voice, you must have heard of a ventriloquist! I took another step fully expecting a punch now. No Ive never heard that He said A ventil... what you just said he replied. Do you ever call in the Brown Cow for a drink I enquired Most days yea Said the chap Its the only place me and Rocky aint barred from Well Ive got to get off now while Im still alive but Ill call in some time we can have a chat and I can explain all about ventriloquism over a GOTTLE OF GEAR.. hows that sound? Nice one mate he said shook my hand and he was off! Never judge a book by its cover, appearances can be so deceptive, but I do believe if he tells this story to someone who knows what a ventriloquist is and especially the gottle of gear bit, im in trouble!..... Is it me?
