Not funny but couldnt stop laughing,

[FONT=&quot]About a year ago I quoted to install some wiring to a garage, anyway didn’t get the job because I was to expensive and wouldn’t budge on price. So the homeowner decided to install it himself , however, he chose a rather unusual installation method…through a tree, actually wound round the branches.[/FONT]This weekend he decided to trim one of the trees, and this was the result. Cut through the cable and set fire to the trees.

The insurance company assessor popped round yesterday and asked to see the electrical certificate, when they couldn’t supply one he washed his hands of it.

I know its not funny but i laughed my little cotton socks off. looks like i will be getting the job after all.

A friend was asked to quote by the wife of the house to cut down a large tree that was at the back of the bungalow with a large glass veranda. He sent in a quote, having contacted a friend with a large tractor and winch to pull the tree away from the house. He got a phone call from the husband giving him verbal abuse for a ridiculous quote. A few weeks later his friend with the tractor phoned him and asked why he had not asked for his help cutting down the tree. Not knowing what he was talking about he asked.

The husband had found a couple of people with a chain saw and they cut the tree down for him. As they did not know what they were doing it fell the wrong way on top of the bungalow. The two with the chainsaw dissapeared quickly, the husband did not know names or phone numbers. He had to get a very very large crane to lift the tree off the bungalow from the road at the front. He then needed a new roof and glass veranda.There were photos in the local press at the time.
