Eyebrows have been raised in Betoota Heights as father of three Rodney McKinnon (62) went out of his way to check the letterbox, which for his family is a sure sign he’s been nabbed by a speed camera.
McKinnon’s family is aware the patriarch occasionally speeds, although it appears that none of the time he saved by speeding has gone towards doing housework and the fact that he checked the mail himself means he is surely trying to hide something.
“Just bills. Good. Great,” stated McKinnon as he wiped his sweaty brow with an eco-friendly Wildlife Fund mail-out.
“Good old bills.”
Wife of 17 years Courtney McKinnon (58) states her husband Rodney has been uncharacteristically militant about checking the mail in recent weeks and is torn between confronting him about it or using similar tactics to get him to mow the lawn.
“The only time that he took the bins out was when he threw the vege lasagne in the bin and told me he’d eaten it, when he’d really ordered takeaway,” stated Courtney McKinnon.
“The look in his eyes when I found a chip in the couch later that night is no different to the look in his eyes now. Nice to not have to worry about the mail though.”
Rodney McKinnon denies that there are any ulterior motives behind his militant letterbox regime stating simply that he just really cares about mail right now.
“What is weird about a man deciding the check the post seven days a week?”
Following his statements, McKinnon was seen swearing as he opened a blank envelope addressed to him which turned out to be from a charity he donated to eight years ago.
“You beauty!”
More to come.
