[Scene: Two American fraternity boys are on the tail-end of a backpacking trip through Europe. Cases in hand, they are riding the tube out to Heathrow. They are discussing living abroad.].
Fratboy1: "It’s fun, but I could never move around so much...I need some"--[searches for word]
Fratboy2: [to the rescue] "Stability?"
Frat1: "...Yeah, some stability in my life, y’know?" [Pause]. "But, my friend lives in Colombia."
Frat2: "Dude, that’s not *even* on my list of top 50 countries to visit!"
Frat1: "Haha, I know, me too."
[Pause]
Frat1: "Still, Colombian girls are *hot*."
[Silence as boys mull this over].
Frat1:[authoritatively] "Even the people in the surrounding countries of South America say Colombian girls are the hottest."
Frat2: [sadly] "I haven’t seen very many."
[Awkward silence]
Frat1: "I got close once--I dated a Peruvian."

POSH AND PREGGERS
|
| |
I was sitting opposite this girl on the train from Charing X to London Bridge who looked posh and had a voice that was either EXTREMELY POSH or just QUITE POSH but with a cold. She did seem rather stressed and said the following into her phone almost without taking a breath:
"I went to his boat and it was like strange seeing him in a non-mutual place but he keeps sending me somewhat inappropriate texts especially as his girlfriend wants to have children. He doesn't change but I do need to talk to him about the next book but he is being evasive. He told me it was about five women and I really need to know if it is about me. Anyway - I can't wait I can't wait. We need to write a tender for a Euro project which has got to be delivered on Saturday and the pressure is enormous but there is no internal strife so it is all working but David is having conversations with his wife about how they can get through the strain of the next few months. This LFA is the first half of the evaluation data analysis and this stupid woman who has got up my nose has sent 56 tables without any description and she has gone on holiday and we can't send that to the Commissioner so we are failing on our delivery. And I think I’m pregnant. It's a nightmare."
