| My girlfriend
had been unemployed for ages, so I was delighted
when she finally applied for a job. She
filled in the form in her best handwriting,
but got stuck when they asked her to list
all her hobbies. “I’ve put smoking,” she
said, “but can’t think of anything else.”
I racked my brains, but couldn’t think of
anything either. ”Well”,
I said eventually, “you could put sex.
You enjoy making love to me, don’t you?”
“No”, she said, chewing
her pen. “Not any more. I’ll put hill
walking. It’s not as if they’re going
to check up on me.”
