I'm absolutely certain it'll come as soon as I get in the shower!

I am having my new desk delivered from Argos today. Argos know that I'm always on the look out for good comedy - therefore they'll deliver it exactly when I step in the shower. The last delivery I waited for, came 2 minutes before the last possible time it could arrive, this is the only other comedy option available.

I step into the shower.
The Argos Man who had been waiting outside my door for this moment, presses the buzzer.

I hungrily unwrap the desk like it was a Bargain Bucket from KFC. Since I obviously live in a world of comedy cliches I am fully expecting to have at least half a dozen screws, nuts and bolts left over at the end. I begin building. Now the big thing's connected to the small thing, the small thing's connected to the slidey thing, the slidey thing's connected to the curvey bit and the curvey bit seems to be connected to the box by stickey backed plastic.

After being buried under the curvey bit and the box, I continue to put my desk together. I screw, tweek and hammer away. I now have something which resembles three bits of a desk. Final Stage: Join the left hand side of the desk to the right hand side and to the top by using the 8 large screws. Important! Completing this stage incorrectly will have a detremental impact on the stability of the desk.

I look down at my pile of bits and bobs. I have only 8 screws left. That's not funny I think, I have used up every bit and have none left over. I'm supposed to have loads left over and then we're supposed to laugh and pretend I've forgotten to do bits. I know what I'll do! I insert 4 screws to join the wobbly desk together.

Look I have 4 bits left over - that's funny that is. Laugh!
