"Do you want a brew, hon?"
"That's the reason why we have just been to Argos, isn't it? To get a new kettle."
"Yes, hon."
"Don't forget to read the instructions."
"Ha! It's a kettle not a nuclear reactor. Instructions are for women."
"Just read them, okay?"
"Pfft, men don't need instructions for kettles."
"Don't forget, no sugar - I'm dieting."
"Okay, I'll use the sweeteners."
"Have you read the instructions yet?"
"Nah."
"Read them, will you. And don't be long, I'm gasping."
"Switching it on now, hon."
45 seconds and... BANG!
"Did you put any water in?"
"Ah... yes... water."
