Lionel:
[on the telephone] No, thank you. No, thank you. [pause] No, thank you! [pause] No, thank you. [pause] No, thank you. Goodbye.

Jean:
Friend of yours?

Lionel:
British Telecom. One of those 'are you satisfied with our services' calls. I said yes and hoped that would be it, but no, I then get ten minutes of being offered extra services.

Jean:
You weren't even listening.

Lionel:
Well, it's all getting too complicated. Do you realise you can get a special rate if you make calls between three and five o'clock in the morning providing you're standing on one leg and wearing a ginger wig?

Jean:
You turned that down!
