Two friends are having a
drink in a London pub.
-"I wouldn't leave
my dog behind, in the car: no way I'd forget him! I love Rex. He's so loyal and
intelligent..."
-"What about Jason,
your son?"
-"Well, that's
different. I know what you mean."
-"Me, once, I was
in the pub and I got bored, and I decided to go home, and I stormed out, like,
got in the car and drove home. Arrived home, sat down in front of the telly,
and the mobile rings. You know what: I'd left my wife, Sheila, behind. I'd
forgotten she was with me. I was well annoyed, I must say."
-"Big as she is, you
didn't see her, like?"
-"Big? Yes, she's
big. I agree. She's so fat, it's like I got two for the price of one! Anyway, I
had to go back and pick her up. I hesitated for a second, mind..."
-"A missed
opportunity, maybe."
PS -- You may remember
that David Cameron and his wife, when he was still PM, once forgot one of their
children in the pub: they left the little girl behind. They came back later to
pick her up, as one does. But I think they have more than one child, which
means you have to do a head count every time, and it does get tedious, doesn't
it? ("Darling, I wish we didn't have 8 of them!")
