Local Bloke Mishears Wife When She Says She Wants To Get Into Solar Energy

A local bloke has reportedly misunderstood his wife’s push for renewables after returning from 7-Eleven fuel run with several cans of SOLO’s new energy drink, convinced she’d asked him to get into ‘SOLO Energy.’

Ash McClintock, 32, says he was halfway through his second can when the confusion came to light – shortly after receiving what he describes as “the look” from his wife, Immy.

Having previously been accused of strategic incompetence, Ash once again found himself in hot water as he proudly plonked several cans of SOLO Energy on the kitchen table with a smug grin.

“I don’t know, I was in a rush this morning,” Ash told The Advocate, “I thought maybe she meant switching energy providers or something.”

“But then I saw SOLO Energy at the 7-Eleven and figured – yep, that’s probably it.”

Immy, however, was not amused as her genuine attempts to reduce the electricity bill had apparently inspired yet another of Ash’s standup routines.

“Ash knows I said solar, not SOLO,” she said, unimpressed.

“Sometimes I wonder if he’s in a long-term relationship or just participating in a very committed prank.”

On the bright side, despite the marital turbulence, Ash claims getting into SOLO Energy has completely changed his mornings.

“These days I wake up, have a SOLO Energy, and just start crushing things,” he said.

“Last week I managed to finish my Duolingo lesson from 2022 and I also finally got around to unfollowing my ex’s dog on instagram.”

Though he’s yet to do anything actually useful.

“Yeah it’s good stuff, I think Immy’s on to a winner here”, says Darren, taking another swig from the can.

“But in all seriousness, I probably should look into solar energy. The electricity bills this year are no joke.”

More to come.
