When I was at school, on my summer vacation, I took a job as a helper in a yard making electrical machinery. I was assigned to a rather elderly electrican as his 'gofer'. After one weekend, when I returned to work, my electrician did not show up. When I went around asking about him, I was told, "Didn't you hear? Old Willie died over the weekend." <br />I was shocked. Then someone told me it was usual for a helper to go around and take up a collection for the widow. This I did. I got someone else to come with me that night to give the widow the money. I dressed up suitably in dark clothing and off we went to the house. <br />Imagine my shock and surprise when after I rang the door bell it was answered by the 'deceased' wanting to know "what the hell I wanted". <br />Needless to say, everyone wanted their money back and all about twice what they had put in. I was got good.
