Being a perfect, thoughtful husband, Cyclops lashed out and bought for his ever loving wife an unused, gleaming white toilet bowl for $5 at a garage sale so that she could use it as a potplant . Cumbersome and heavy, the highly desirable present was lugged to the car, probably inducing a hernia in the process, driven home, unloaded with the help of a sack trolley,and deposited in the backyard. Like a mug, Cyclops decided to move it near the shed so that a bougainvillea could be planted in it. Once more it was loaded onto the sack trolley , with flat tyres, and trundled up to the shed -where it fell off and smashed to pieces . The mother of all oaths was heard across the district . Informed of the disaster , sight unseen, my wife asked this flush-faced toilet wrecker if it could be glued together . Nix . Clearly visible on the shattered dunny is the sign NEW and the price of five bucks .
