Tourists and tartsIn my second year at uni I had to write an essay about the significance of Notre-Dame cathedral for the French national identity (yes, I did one of THOSE degrees) and so I decided that I should probably go and look around the place before writing about it. While wandering around trying to look interested and taking notes about the statues, I overheard an American teenager (sorry about the stereotype but it happens to be true) telling her parents that there should be some 'like, little man with, like, a lump on his back hanging around so that tourists could have their photo taken with him.'
Also, on the bus home from work (back in good old northern England) I heard one girl telling her friend that she wasn't going to wear her tight leather trousers anymore because the night before she had got her pubes trapped in the zip and it had given her a "go-faster stripe"
