A woman rings up a shopping channel*, the following conversation takes place:
Woman: “Do you sell incontinence pads?”
Operator: “Yes.”
Woman: “How long do you take to deliver?”
Operator: “Where are you ringing from?”
Woman: “The waist down.”
* If no “shopping channel” in the U.K., then visualize an Associated Dairies with a telephone**.
** telephone – an instrument for transmitting and receiving sounds over long distances by electricity***.
*** electricity – a form of energy that occurs in nature and is observable in natural phenomena (as lightning) and that can be produced by friction, chemical reason, or mechanical effort.
I can supply definitions for “chemical” and “mechanical” if necessary.
