 A:    This sucks; I hate buying lingerie.  Okay, just find

       something and get out of here.  Alright, these are

       fine. Oh, no, don’t come over here, don’t come

       over here.


 B:    You look a little lost, can I help you?


 A:    Um, I’m just having a look around. It’s my girl-

       friend’s birthday tomorrow. I ’m trying to find her

       something.


 B:    Well, you  can’t  give her granny panties.  Have

       you thought about getting her some sleepwear?

       We’ve got these lovely, silky nighties. Or, how

       about a nice panty-and and-bra set.  Look, here’s

       a nice satin push-up bra, and you can choose a

       few different styles of undies to go with it.


 A:    Sure that’s fine.

 A:    This is so awkward 1...what ones do I pick?  What

       size is she?


 B:    Well, do you want a thong,  some  bikini  briefs,

       maybe this nice pair of lacy boy shorts?


 A:    Just pick something and get the hell out of here.


 A:    Um, I’ll go with these two.


 A:    This is mortifying 2; I just want to get this over with.

       She better thank me for this...


       Here you are, sir. I’m sure she’ll enjoy them.


 B:     Finally!


 A:     I’m sorry,  sir. I’m  going to have to take a look

        inside your bag.
