Batteries!
Wavy lines back to about 17 years ago. My now wife was a student nurse, living in nurses's accommodation, four people to a flat. For the record EVERYTHING they say about nurses is true, in my experience anyway.

So the walls were paper thin, me and the (then) GF are watching the telly. From next door we start to hear moaning that gets faster, louder and more insistent. Suddenly it stops and we hear a muffled "fucking hell" through the wall. Cue door opening, foosteps coming down corridor, knock on the GF's door. She opens it and one of her flatmates is stood there, looking a little flushed and asks "Have you got any AA batteries I could have, my walkman has gone flat", to which I responded "Walkman eh?.....WTF were you singing along to then, it sounded terrible?". Flatmate blushes, grabs batteries now being held by GF, and dashes off.....she did have another go though, it was more muffled the second time around.

So much you could say to this...
Did her 'walkfunny' take AA or D cells?

Did she need 2, or a 'multiple' pack?

Something smells fishy about her battery request.

Reminded me of a meeting
in which the CEO was banging on about product lines we should be promoting for Christmas.
"Batteries!" he pronounces, warming to his subject, "my wife spends a bloody fortune on batteries!"
The sales director looked at him, deadpan. "Well, you are away from home a lot."

That needs to go into a sitcom.

Are they still making Terry and June?

Mr Entity
agrees that everything about nurses is true.

He would go into details but says that they know the medical names for everything and it's tolerances.
