Overheard at Harrods
In Response To: From the urban dictionary.... ()

In my mind, I keep hearing this conversation in the watch department at Harrods:

    Shopper One -- "Why did Harrods decide to make the most obvious, uninspired, boring Autavia imaginable?"

    Shopper Two -- "I guess it was for shits and grins."

    Shopper One -- "Either that, or because Calibre 11 had already made the good version of the Siffert."

: '"I can't believe this sh*t, I demand you to stop"

: How wonderfully apt. in this case :-)
