A Sunday Morning Conversation

"Oh, you're awake - good morning! Would you like me to put the kettle on?"

A baleful look from question recipient.

"Oh, c'mon, I don't think I could screw that part up."

"You're an American - you're genetically incapable of making a proper cup of tea."

"Hey! My ancestors came from there!"

"Well, that's probably why they got kicked out."

"Deported for improper beverage preparation?"

"Exactly."
