  • Hi there, Helen.

  • Now, something really funny happened to me on my way here this morning.

  • Oh, really?

  • Do tell me.

  • I love a funny story.

  • Right.

  • A man got on my bus wearing his shoes on the wrong feet.

  • Ok, and what happened next?

  • Then he started speaking to me.

  • He asked if I liked Shakespeare.

  • Oh, right.

  • And then he started reading one of Hamlet's famous speeches.

  • Yeah, Neil?

  • Yeah.

  • You told me it was a funny story, but I'm not laughing.

  • It's not funny.

  • It's a bit weird.

  • Yeah, I meant funny peculiar, not funny ha ha.

  • Funny peculiar, yes.
