Doner Kebab on a rotating spit (Google image)
Scene: Three young people going into a takeaway establishment late on Saturday night - a Bristolian student and his French girlfriend, the third another French girl, friend of the first.
French Girl 1, visitor (20): (Pointing to the doner meat on the spit) Qu'est-ce que c'est ça là-bas? (1)
French Girl 2, resident (20): C'est la jambe d'un éléphant. C'est bien délicieux! (2)
French Girl 1: (disbelieving) C'est QUOI ??? (3)
French Girl 2: (ernestly) Oui, vraiment... je t'assure... (4)
French Girl 1 turns enquiringly to the Bristolian student, her friend's boyfriend, and notices him clutching his sides, silently convulsed with laughter. French Girl 2 (the girlfriend) realises she's been had - for some time - and storms out of the shop.
