An Old Wives' Tale
"Are those your wives?" I asked jokingly.
"Sure they are," replied Tony.
"Where are the others?"
"They're still coming."
After a brief pause, I sought clarification, "They're not really your wives are they, Tony?"
"What do you think?" was the response.
"Naaaah, no one would marry you, surely."
At this point I ran away from the table like a rocket-propelled whippet as Mr. G is slightly bigger than yours truly and could probably inflict quite a lot of damage.

Thats a lot of Wonga as we say in this country. Well, we don't, but Dick Van Dyke would probably say it, were he to reprise his role as a chimney sweep in Mary Poppins.
