The Lady with the Walker

We were late for viewing first of ten previews at the multiplex cinema. I purchased the tickets, while Lois parked the car.

After getting the tickets, I noticed next to me was a woman in her eighties holding on to a walker. Her daughter had helped her out of the theatre and had gone for the car.

"How was the movie? I asked.

"It was terrible!"

"Terrible?"

"Yes, terrible. It was 'The Fockers.' The whole thing was foul," she said with anger and pain. "What a waste."

"That really sounds bad."

"Bad! There isn't any decency in movies any more."

"There ought to be a law," I suggested.

"Either that or offer free toilet seat protectors."
