Double Pay Sunday

[shropshire mole 190]

Had two jobs to check on this morning, both had a double catch with the duffus, it must be Sunday double pay day, result :boogy:

[Nicepix 5,650]

I did a job about 18 months ago for a real old gent. When I was putting the traps out he came over and told me that there was a €100 reward for each mole caught. I got two on the first check and told him that I didn't want a reward, the fee was enough. And that I was sure he had no more to catch. The next time I went round he was out and there were none in the traps. While I was packing away he came home and asked how many I'd caught today and was rather sceptical when I said "None". He wouldn't believe me. Anyway, he wrote a cheque out for €360.

 

I've been back twice since and been amply rewarded.

 

Strange though, only two moles on a €100 a mole job and not a cent bonus when I take over 20 out of a garden. That's life.
