Sister: "I tried to watch a movie last night. it was really good, it  was....ummmm........ummmmm.........you know that one with........

Laughter, rueful shaking of heads.

Wild Woman: "Oh! Starts with an H, am thinking........ hemhorroids? No, wrong spot."


Sister: "No....ummm.......hernia!"

Wild Woman: "Hernia, that's it! I knew it started with an H."


Cackles.


Wild Woman: "The Bank Manager and the Poet Have Coffee! Well, at least I'm not the only one any more!"
