In a pub restaurant last weekend, I went to the cloakroom, quite a large one as it happens.
On entering, there were three very glam older ladies putting lippy on, spritzing Blue Grass anywhere but on themselves, and another lady who was looking slightly uncomfortable. The three toilets were in full occupation so I was on the verge of departing when a voice from one of the cubicles said
'Thelma, sorry I am taking so long, I'm having a bit of trouble, can you wait a bit longer'
Thelma said
'It's ok, I have been stood here dribbling, so it's not so urgent now'
During the very same lunchtime, two young girls on a nearby table were discussing how to shake off some unwanted attentions from a guy who one of them had had a few dates with, he telephoned her up. She told her chum who it was, and went outside to take the call. She returned rather quickly.....
'OO 'eck, I really think he's serious, he asked me what sign I was'
'Oh NO!' says her chum, 'he must really have it bad....what did you say'
Chum...'Do Not Disturb'
There was a few seconds silence, and then the chum and most of the people on the surrounding tables had the giggles...OH didn't get it!
