Grocer: THEY’RE ON STRIKE, I’M AFRAID.
Man: OH, THE SUNDAY SPORT, THEN.
Grocer: (Smiling) SOLD OUT.
Man: OH DEAR, WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU GOT THEN?
Grocer: (Reaching behind him) HAVE YOU TRIED THE NEW ONE?
Man: NO, IS IT ANY GOOD?
Grocer: (Handing him a toilet roll) YES. I USE IT MYSELF.
Man: (Taking it and holding it up to the light). WELL, I’LL GIVE IT A TRY. (He pays the grocer). CHEERS. (He turns and walks out of the shop).
