Bouncy ball down the exhaust :-( - Page 5 - SV650.org

Many years ago i ws given a brand new vhs video recorder by my BIL who worked for a manufacturer. Back in the day not everyone had such a device and I was poor and therefore pleased. We got back late from the in laws but excitedly I set the thing up and was about to try it out when the wife said it was late and we should go to bed.
Next morning ( a sunday) I got up and went straight to the VHS and tried to put a tape in. Just kept ejecting it. In the way of 4 year olds boy nr 2 was knelt next to me looking at the vhs and then at me as I checked everything and studied the manual.
Eventually he said 'money in there'.
He was right you know; he'd posted dozens of 2p's through the tape flap which had neatly dropped into the mechanism.................................

You'll have to tell the little'un about the "dinner witch" who also moonlights as the "bouncy ball witch" & that he'll be taken away if he does it again

Why would a 30 something put a peanut down his ear?
