Ace of Spades.

 

Sometimes big is not better.

Did you know that a smaller (standard 3/4 size) double bass will actually project further than a bigger (full size) double bass?

Now that's just being ridiculous!

A small mobile phone is better than the 'bricks' they used to make.

A smaller car is easier to park at the supermarket.

If babies were as big as fully grown men, they'd be hard to carry.

Who would want bagpipes that were as big as a whale?

Sometimes it's the same with spades.

Spare a thought for this guy.

Let's call him Brent. Brent has a job that he must do in a very confined space. The only way to get to his problem is to crawl. I'll give you a clue, Brent is not working on the roof (though, he has fallen off that in the past).

It's a small thing that needs fixing, but Brent needs to be able to get to it without causing any disasters.

Yes, Brent knows about those too.

Piles are important.

After surveying the problem, Brent crawled back outside, found his mobile phone, and called and cancelled the digger he was intending to hire for the job.

Big things were not going to work on this job.

Brent went out looking for a suitable digging device.

No.

No.

No, definitely not.

Now that's just being silly!

Yes! That could do the job!

Brent was ready for action! This would be a winner. This would impress The Old Gal Friend after all those other events:

• Falling off the Millard Stand after trying to sneak in to see a rugby game for nothing.
• Nearly getting into a fight at cards.
• The house that fell down.
• Getting banned from a Presbyterian church for trying to sell them a book on Transubstantiation.
• I could go on.

Brent was, indeed, The Ace of Spades!
