Strange Conversations: Part Seventy
Posted 9 December 2008 in Strange Conversations by Catriona
ME: Hon, while you’re doing the washing up, would you mind clearing some of the plates out of the living room?
NICK: I’m really shagged, you know. [Note: Not a euphemism. Well, it is, but not for what it sounds like. Nick has a cold and is a . . . vocal invalid.]
NICK: But that won’t stop me doing my duty. My manly duty.
ME: Stop that!
NICK: What?
ME: Well, when you say your manly duty, what you’re actually saying is “Washing up is for girls!”
NICK: No, I’m not!
ME: Why did you feel the need to say it was a manly duty, then?
NICK: Well, I am trying to annoy you.
ME: Oh. Okay, then.
