Both my hearing and my attention span decrease when watching the late evening news. And then there’s the possibility of dozing off. One evening my wife and I were watching the 10 o’clock news, and the reporter was describing a scene where two women were fighting and a third, rather large woman was standing by and just watching. I understood the reporter to say, “And the lady with the big breasts did absolutely nothing to stop the fight!”
I asked my wife, “Why in the world did he have to mention her big breasts?”
She started laughing and told me the reporter had said, “And the lady in the pink dress did absolutely nothing to stop the fight!”
