Oh!

"Shit!"


"Sorry?"


"It's frozen again. And just as I was beginning to…"


"Frozen? Who's frozen?"


"It's what, not who. That damned computer, that's what."


"Whaddya mean, frozen - in this heat? I might have understood if you said it had melted or something like that but frozen? Beats me!"


"Of course it beats you, you… ignorant buffoon! You can't even look up missing calls on your mobile let alone set up a new address and now you expect me to explain… oh, forget it!"


"Why should I learn if I've got you to do it for me. And, I don't want to know about that computer anyway. But, if it causes you so much trouble, why don't you consult somebody?"


"Well, here's the news, darling: from now on you're on your own as regards that mobile. Besides, I think it's high time I got a new computer."


"Right. And next you'll want a new DVD and a new microwave and a new car…"


"Well, we do need these things. But since you're so reluctant to change, perhaps what I need most is a new man."
