SOLDIER:
Hi, mate! Can't wait to get home. I haven't been home for six months.
SAILOR:
Well, I have been away from home much
than that.
SOLDIER
:
Where do you live? I live in Scotland.
SAILOR
:
Well, I live in Kent; it is a bit
than Scotland.
SOLDIER
:
Have you got a girlfriend or wife?
SAILOR:
Yes, I have a girlfriend who wants to marry me, but she's
than me.
SOLDIER
:
Is she a lot
than you?
SAILOR
:
Oh, yes. 10 centimetres.
SOLDIER
:
Well my girlfriend is much
than that. In fact she is
woman I know.
SAILOR
:
My girlfriend's very
, too. Have you got a photo of your one?
SOLDIER
:
Yes, here it is. My girlfriend is
girl in the world, but she is so
.
SAILOR
:
She reminds me of my girlfriend, but this woman has
hair. Let me look
with my glasses. Hmmmm! This woman is definitely as
as my girlfriend! Just a minute! She is MY girlfriend, not YOUR girlfriend! You're
scumbag I have ever met. Get a girlfriend of your own!
SOLDIER
:
Are you sure she's your girlfriend? Is her hair as
as your girlfriend's?
SAILOR
:
W
ell, no, but she must have dyed it. It's usually much
than that. I have always preferred blondes.
SOLDIER
:
Well, there you are, then. She can't be your girlfriend - her hair's the wrong colour.
SAILOR
:
Maybe you're right, but she does look just like my Meg. Sorry, mate. Didn't mean to turn on you like that. I'm not usually as
as that. Look, here's a photo of Meg.
SOLDIER
:
Yes, she does resemble my Margaret a bit, but her hair is much
and she also looks
in the face.
(
Thinks
: You must be
than you look!)
SAILOR
:
Y
es. You're right. Well then, bye mate.
to have met you.
SOLDIER
:
Bye, mate.
(
Thinks
: You must be
man I have ever met!)
