Excuse me sir, can I see your letter again?

Of course, here it is.

You see, it says here your appointment is the 19th.

That’s correct, 5 o’clock, I’m a little early!

I’m afraid you’re quite early. Today is the 18th.

It is?

It is.

Not to worry, I’ll see you tomorrow.

No, please, let me see if there’s a free appointment.

…

You’re in luck!

Marvellous!

Such civility before I heard one explain to the other
how he had to shove a camera up his arse.
