1 A: Right, Jones! It's a yellow card for you.
B: Oh Ref! What had I done?
A: I had already blown the whistle three times, Jones, but you
carried on playing!
2 A: Did you see the ice hockey last night, Ben?
Great goal by Grabic, huh?
B: Well, I was watching the game when the doorbell rang. I went to
answer it. It was some sales person, and when I got back, I had missed
the goal!
A: No way!
A: Arthur, at seventy-six years of age you're the
oldest competitor to finish the marathon today.
Why did you decide to run?
B: Oh, well, last year my grandson and I were
watching the race on TV when he asked, 'Granddad, have you
ever done that?' I told him that I hadn't run a
marathon and he said, 'Maybe you should try.'
So, I did it for my grandson, Timmy. Can I say hello to him?
Hello, Timmy!
