 A:    This sucks; I hate buying lingerie.  Okay, just find
       something and get out of here.  Alright, these are
       fine. Oh, no, don’t come over here, don’t come
       over here.

 B:    You look a little lost, can I help you?

 A:    Um, I’m just having a look around. It’s my girl-
       friend’s birthday tomorrow. I ’m trying to find her
       something.

 B:    Well, you  can’t  give her granny panties.  Have
       you thought about getting her some sleepwear?
       We’ve got these lovely, silky nighties. Or, how
       about a nice panty-and and-bra set.  Look, here’s
       a nice satin push-up bra, and you can choose a
       few different styles of undies to go with it.

 A:    Sure that’s fine.
 A:    This is so awkward¹...what ones do I pick?  What
       size is she?

 B:    Well, do you want a thong,  some  bikini  briefs,
       maybe this nice pair of lacy boy shorts?

 A:    Just pick something and get the hell out of here.

 A:    Um, I’ll go with these two.

 A:    This is mortifying²; I just want to get this over with.
       She better thank me for this...

       Here you are, sir. I’m sure she’ll enjoy them.

 B:     Finally!

 A:     I’m sorry,  sir. I’m  going to have to take a look
        inside your bag.
