Bear
In a shop on the way to work yesterday there were two teenage bhangramuffins. One was over-excited; harmless, but jabbering loudly to his mate about something that had happened to him on a bus, almost yelling in glee. “Cut it out, man,” interrupted the other one, embarrassed. “Shit, we’re in a shop now. What j’wanna get?”
His friend a put a lid on it for a while, but couldn’t contain himself for long. Soon he was back up to much the same volume, but this time talking about a £1,000 watch he’d broken and was having to pay £50 to get mended so that his stepdad didn’t kill him. Normally, apparently, this watch is kept in a safe. “J’see inside the safe?” asked the quiet one. “Yeah, man!” said the unquiet one, and I swear as I left the shop I heard him say this: “A bear could shit in it!” Does this mean it’s spacious, or actually quite small? Or is that probably not what I heard?
