yes, you just know something aint quite right when Ban ki-Moon gets in touch with you, and you forgot you were both dear friends, to ask you a deep favour in the interests of his late client who died last week and entrusted her money to you, via the bank of Uganda, the sum of 2,000,344,22.3 US Dollars in a safe deposit box and this needs to be transfered hurridly to your bank account for safe keepings until the situation is resolved and the monies can then be distributed to you.
utter cock. |
