I know one shouldn't listen to other people's conversations, and particularly not in a doctors waiting room. But there were plenty of seats available, and yet a middle aged and quite large couple proceeded to park themselves right next to me, gasping at the effort of having walked from the car park which must have been fully 30 yards away .....
The general conversation was about dieting, and the new diet that they have put themselves on. It proceeded for a while until he came up with this masterpiece...
Him (with no trace of sarcasm or irony in his voice at all): "Shall we have the low calorie lamb for lunch?"
Her: "No - we can have that tonight"
Pause
Him: "How about pork pie and coleslaw for lunch. What can we have with that?"
