Do we?

A year or two ago, I went downstairs for another gin and tonic and
found my daughter in the kitchen microwaving popcorn.  I asked her
what the film was like, and she said she was making popcorn "during
the American bit".

The sounds of tyre squeals and gunfire echoed from the lounge.

Ever noticed how the engine noise bears no relation to the acceleration
and gear changes, and how every car sounds like a badly tuned V8 with
a couple of holes in the exhaust?  How the tyres always squeal _after_
the corner?
