Should I put Mrs Humfrey's on an intensive weight lifting routine?

Question

My 87 year old housekeeper Mrs Humpfrey's seems to be a bit sluggish of late, why it took her all day to build that gazebo in the manor grounds.

She's forever banging on about her shot putting bronze medal at the 1936's Olympics and how she broke three of Hitler's fingers while shaking his hand in the medal ceremony (Fair play to her on that one mind) Would having her pumping some iron restore her to her former glory?

Answer 1

That devious Mrs H was sneaking a few hours in the sun when building your gazebo!  As a punishment, have her lob the nuclear waste from your traffic management scheme into it - the sun, not the gazebo.  That should kill two birds with one stone, and possibly a few flocks of the feathered variety too.

Answer 2

It's so difficult to find good help these days!

Answer 3

i remember seeing the old  photo of that occasion old bean, Mrs Humfrey's has indeed become a Shadow of her former 6 -2" 19 stone physique, she has become lazy, a dash good flogging should bring her back to heal, never mind her groaning about the arthritic hip waffle...no pain no gain i say.

maybe if you whip her back into training wearing some Jack boots it may bring a stir to the old goat's memory and stop her complaining ?

Answer 4

How can she get anything done if you keep her in a jar of aqueous solution of formaldehyde. Let her go with the flow.

Answer 5

I think you have been too lenient. Sack her and get in a fit 90 year old

Answer 6

I don't see why not old boy, and it wouldn't be before time either.  Just the other day I had to wait twenty minutes for her to get down on her hands and knees to start my Stanley Steamer before I could drive the d----d thing.  I most certainly was not impressed.
