When Did She Get This Stupid?
She says: “I heard about this service offered by an Australian mobile-phone
company – you can request that they block certain numbers after 3.00am…”
He says: “Why?”
And she replies: “’Cos that’s the time when people call those numbers and
make fools of themselves…”
She can hear the penny drop, the subsonic ‘click’ of understanding, before he
asks:
“What’s the time over there…?”
She says: “3.00 am.”
