A man we know doesn't get to go to the movies often. So when he goes he hopes to enjoy it to the fullest. Last time he went two women sitting behind him were carrying on an endless conversation. "Excuse me ladies," he finally interrupted, "but I can't hear a word." "Listen, mister," one of the talkers answered, "what we're talking about is none of your business anyway."
