Two well-dressed ladies happened to start up a conversation during an endless wait in the Heathrow Airport Terminal.
The first lady was an arrogant Londoner married to a wealthy business man.
The second was a well-mannered elderly woman from Dudley*
After a little while the London woman started by saying, "When my first child was born, my husband built a beautiful mansion for me."
The lady from Dudley commented, "Well, isn't that fantastic?"
The first woman continued, "When my second child was born, my husband bought me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz."
Again, the lady from Dudley commented, "Well, isn't that fantastic?"
The first woman went on, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet."
Yet again, the Dudley lady commented, "Well, isn't that fantastic?"
The first woman then asked, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the Dudley lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried, "Oh my Lord! What could they teach you??"
The Dudley lady responded,
"Well as an example... instead of saying "Who gives a Fuck?" I learned to say "Well, isn't that fantastic?"
*For those who might wonder, Dudley is in the Black Country, the heart of the industrial West Midlands, England.
