  'It's as plain as the nose on your face!'

Dave and Brad are standing 1 outside the library when they notice Joe.

Dave: Hey, there's Joe. I wonder why he's walking arm in arm with that young woman.

Brad: It's as plain as the nose on your face. They are going together.

Dave: You're pulling my leg! She must be twenty years younger than Joe. Talk about robbing the cradle.

Brad: Well, you can bet this relationship's going to be a flash in the pan.

Dave: It must have been love at first sight because I know he didn't have a girlfriend last week.

Brad: I think you hit the nail on the head. Actually, my father popped the question to my mother after knowing her only two weks. They tied the knot a month later!
