IS CONVERSATION KILLING THE ART OF TELEVISION
==================================================
In my job I meet some people who are not the brightest on Earth and
sometimes I wonder if I`m in the right job.The following is an actual
conversation between a guy called Paddy who collects Bonsai trees and
a guy called Les who hadn`t heard of them.It took place a week before
Christmas last year and went like this.
Paddy - I got a beatiful tree last night,it`s one of the best one`s
I`ve seen.I`m going to put it in the window.
Les - Window`s the best place right enough,I`ve got mine there.
Paddy - I didn`t realise you collected them too Les.
Les - ( looking slightly puzzled ) Well I don`t collect them,I`ve only
got the one.
Paddy - Oh,just started.I had to throw my first one out,it died.But
I`ve got seven now.
Les - ( looking even more puzzled ) Seven,you must have one in every
room of the house.
Paddy - No,I have them all in the living room.
Les - Why do you have so many?
Paddy - I just like them.The one I got yesterday is the best though.Mind
you I paid sixty quid for it.
Les - WHAT! SIXTY QUID!
Paddy - Sure,you`ll pay that for a good one.
Les - Mines only cost four pound fifty.( looking flabbergasted )
Paddy - Four pound fifty? It can`t be a very good one for that money.
Les - Bloody is.Did you get the decorations with yours?
Paddy - Decorations? What are you talking about?
Les - Well for sixty f**king quid I`d want the decoration and lights
and everything.
Paddy - What the f**k are you talking about decorations.
Les - For your bloody Christmas tree.
Paddy - ( penny dropping ) I`m not talking about Christmas trees,I`m
talking about f**king Bonsai trees.
Les - ( silent pause ) Well you wouldn`t catch me with one of those
f**king artificial things.
The conversation went on but I think that`s about the gist of it.I
wonder sometimes you know,I really do.
