In a charity shop
Woman with inordinately large hoop earrings and an unusually orange tan to her 10-year-old child: “If you touch that again I swear to God I will smack you so hard you see stars, march you home and put you to bed at six.”
Child: “Go on, then.”

In the coffee shop
Woman of about 60 reading an article from the newspaper out loud to her husband who is reading another section: “And it says here….blah blah blah blah blah blah blah….blah blah blah blah blah….Are you listening to this, dear?”
Husband, without missing a beat or lifting his eyes from his own paper: “Not at all, darling.”
