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.”
