"There's a ferret in the chook shed " starring Hamish and Alastair
Twas a normal night , so probly on my 2nd 6 pack when there was a loud business like hammering on my back door , I goes to the door just as it flies open and there is Ali ( Alastair ) , eyes like dinner plates
, spade in one hand rake in the other , "there's a ferret in the chook shed " he exclaims thrusting the rake towards me as he turns and heads for the chook shed . I get my boots on ( I still had 2 legs back then
) and catch up just as he opens the shed door , I follow him in and he shuts the door ( Im thinkin of them cowboy movies when the baddie shuts the saloon door before the shooting starts ) any how Ali is in a ninja stance as he pans the shed ( Im already thinkin this is bullshit .... there ant no ferret ) when he bellows " there it is " gestulating wildly at a small tuft of black stuff sticking out from between a stack of straw bales and the shed wall . I thought it was a bit of synthetic bailing twine so I grabbed it thinking aint no friggin ferret gunna sit there with its arse hanging out like that . He was right , it was a ferret and it wasnt happy about me hanging on to it , I mean it went berserk and I was wavin it round trying to stop it biting me while Ali was swinging the spade at it . I felt the wind of it a couple of times , so I chucks the thing on the floor and it starts doing laps round the inside of the shed .... followed by the spade some more . I was more worried about getting a head injury from the spade than getting bit . I eventually , like when Ali was to exhausted to swing the spade any more , pinned the bastard thing to the floor with my rake and dispatched it .
Huge , weighed nearly 4kg which is about twice as big as they are supposed to get .
