A piece of Mdf shaped like a car, 300 ping pong balls, 5 boxes of Alka Seltzer, Thin reinforced tubing, colourless vinegar, Anything in a glass bottle with a wide neck, a bag of used film canisters and very small eggs. These are all things I have had to ask for in order to be the Make it Lady. This got me thinking what strange things you may have had to ask for in a shop before? The sillier the better.

I just can't imagine what your shopping on the weekends is like if this is what you get during the week!

The key to the toilet? Then the lady at the counter saying "no love, actually that man over there has it" when I go over, the man says "someones already taken it" But it is probably no nearly as weird as what Make it Lady has said/asked for.

I wondered about going into an electronic components shop and asking for rubber feet; a bus driver, and banana plugs. I never got round to it.

How about busting into a illegal Mob driven 'numbers' shop in little Italy.
Asking for the owner?
Would that be okey?

I asked for a ferret burger in McDonald's. Does that count? (the girlie behind the counter thought I'd asked for a fillet o' fish. D'OH!)

When I was in my teens - about 1826 - I would ask for a fur-burger.
I was so very foolish.

This is my favourite comedy momment. and it invovles silly shopping.
