There’s a badminton competition at the local leisure centre
and a young man, seeing a girl all on her own, decides to go
and ask her if she would like to team up with him for a
doubles match. Much to his astonishment she yells at the top
of her voice, “How dare you. No I will not join you for a
quickie in the back of your car!”
The room falls silent and all eyes are turned to the young
man who shuffles away totally embarrassed and humiliated.
Ten minutes later the girl approaches him full of apologies
and explains that she is experimenting with people’s
reactions to different situations as part of her thesis on
human behaviour. As she finishes talking he exclaims very
loudly, “£200! You’ve got to be joking, I can get it much
cheaper elsewhere.”
