The other day my friend rang me. He
said he was really DOWN IN THE DUMPS as he had been GIVEN
THE SACK by his employer who didn't BEAT AROUND THE BUSH but
told him outright that he WASNT WORTH HIS SALT.
I didn't like seeing my friend IN
THE DOLDRUMS so I told him to KEEP HIS PECKER UP and try
to TURN OVER A NEW LEAF. I had an idea of a job for him
but didn't want TO LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG just yet, and
decided instead TO KEEP IT UNDER MY HAT.
