Nurse: Have a good ride over?
Me: Yep! Was listening to the news.
Nurse: Tut tut, that's not very safe.
Me: Nah, it's all right. It was big news.
Nurse: *blank look*
Me: Bin Laden's dead. The President announced it.
Nurse: *blankness persists* Another one, was it?
Me: Sorry?
Nurse: Didn't they get the sons and cousins last week? Is this another one?
Me: Oh, no that's Gadaffi. Osama Bin Laden, leader of Al Qaeda? September 11.
Nurse: Aw yeah. I was in the right area, different person. Didn't they get him already?
Me: No, that was one of his underlings. A while ago.
Nurse: Oh. Well what happens now?
Me: Probably not much. There's always other leaders who'll step up.
Nurse: So it doesn't really matter, does it.
Me: Well...
Nurse: I thought you had big news about Prince Will and Pip, what's her name, Pippa?
Me: You mean Will and Kate?
Nurse: Oh yes, that one. Any news on them?
Me: God no, er, I don't know.
Nurse: Mmm. Just lie back for me, darl.
