On the way home from work yesterday evening, I bumped into my neighbour/old-friend outside my house and he shared this story with me which I think's too good not to share. So here you are:
Apparently, someone he knows has a friend (or something along those lines) whose son is quite autistic and as such has severe learning disabilities. Now, this chap's aged around 20-25, but absolutely adores his fantasy adventure involving dragons, elves, wizards, etc.
Now, not too long ago, this chap's mother began receiving very distressed calls from him: "Mum, come quick, I've caught a goblin!"
Obviously she's wondering what's going on, possibly thinks he's just being a bit odd but pops around to see what the problem is all the same. When she turns up, she finds her son genuinely stressed, worked-up, bleeding and overall looking a little worse for wear with scratches and bruises.
The son then proceeds to take his mother over to a cupboard he'd blocked shut, and opens it. Inside the mother is greeted by a vertically challenged door-to-door salesman that the son had beaten up and locked away!
I'm not sure how they resolved that one but I'm sure the goblin will be able to laugh about it one day. I think I'm going to cry with laughter if that poor sod ever comes to my door!
Talk about a bad day at the office!
