BLOCK II

1. Read the following dialogues.

Bus driver:Stand back from the door, please. Let the passengers off first.

Mrs. Oldridge:How much is the fare, please?

Bus driver:20 cents. Move along to the rare of the bus, please. There are plenty of seats to the rare.

Mrs. Oldridge: (nervous) Does this bus go up Riverside Drive?

Bus driver:Take bus number 5. That goes all along the drive. And this is number 4.

Mrs. Oldridge:But somebody told me that this was the right bus to take. My daughter lives in Riverside and I’ve come to see her. My son-in-law used to drive me from the station before, but this time he pretended he was busy.

Bus driver:This is not the right bus, madam. You’re holding up the rest of the passengers.

Mrs. Oldridge:You needn’t be so impolite. I only asked you a simple question.

Bus driver:And I gave you the simple answer. I don’t have time to enter into conversation with every passenger that gets on the bus. Look at the crowd waiting to get in.

Mrs. Oldridge: Such manners! It’s disgusting.

Bus driver:I’m sorry, madam. Keep moving everybody… Move along to the rare of the bus.

Mrs. Oldridge: (getting off) You are lucky I am not your wife. If I were, I’d give you a good dose of poison.

Bus driver:And if I were your husband, I’d take it!

*****

At the Filling Station

Samuel:Fill it up, please.

Attendant:High-test or regular, Mr. Bradley?

Samuel: Regular, please. Why should I pay 3 cent a gallon extra for high-test gasoline when I really don’t notice any difference?

Attendant: They say the high-test has a little more power and causes less carbon.

Samuel:I’ve tried both kinds many times and as to power, the regular gasoline seems to be just as good as the high-test. It’s possible the high-test leaves less carbon, but I turn my car in every year or two anyway, so I’m never bothered by any carbon.

Attendant:Shall I check the oil?

Samuel:Yes, please. By the way, next week my wife and I are going down South for a month. So you might look at the battery too.

Attendant: Can your wife drive a car?

Samuel:She’s learning to…

Attendant:How long has she been learning?

Samuel:It’ll be exactly ten years next July.

Attendant: (smiling) Women certainly don’t seem to make very good drivers.

Samuel:I agree with you. I know that whenever I’m driving and see a woman going toward me in the opposite direction, I always make sure to give her at least half of the road.

Attendant:But how can you tell which half of the road she wants?
