- Last Thursday LORRAINE and I went Christmas shopping. We went into
- Salisbury's, where Lorraine spent about a quarter of an hour trying on
- every pair of ear-rings in the shop. There are hundreds of ear-rings
- there -- long ones, wide ones, small ones, curved, straight, silver,
- gold plate, any kind you can imagine. You aren't allowed to try them on
- because of health reasons, so she held each of them in turn up to one
- ear-lobe in front of a mirror while I stared at the ceiling and the
- floor and the walls and got bored.
-
- Eventually she settled on two pairs and she ouldn't choose between them.
- Both were pretty and cheap so, desperate to get out and seeing an
- opportunity of escape, I said `Let's buy both, then'. More trying-on in
- front of a mirror, and then she said `No, I'll just get this one'. And
- she did.
-
- As soon as we were outside the shop, she said to me `You know, I really
- preferred the other ones.'
-
- eerily, Ken Johnson
