319. The bottom of the bowl

Scene:  Old Peoples' Home

Supervisor:  Sid, why aren't you eating your pudding, don't you like it?

Sid (80):  I'm not having that muck.

Supervisor:  Why, what's wrong with it?

Sid:  Oh it's not the pudding.  I can't eat stuff when there's a pattern at the bottom of the bowl.  Don't care about the colour, doesn't have to be white, but I can't stand a pattern.  Won't eat out of it.  You can take it away.

(Sound of Supervisor tearing out what's left of her hair from last time...)
