Quotes of the week

Well, sir, the wait staff and I thought we'd just write to ask how your convalescence was going. Sorry about spilling the patch down your front, sir, but the glass was slippery. Who could have foreseen that you'd step backwards, fall over the pool boy and upset a flaming bananas foster on to the front of your shorts. I did get a commendation for my quick action with a high pressure hose to the affected area (thank you, sir, for your shocked but grateful expression). I must say I didn't foresee the force of the blast catapulting you against the pool steps, but a concussion is a small price to pay for avoiding fried nuts with the bananas, eh, sir? It's funny how things turn out, and I bet if you could do it over again, you'd have got off your arse to fetch your own damn patch now, wouldn't you, sir?
