'I've lost my earring...'

...giant woman says to me casually, her hand going up to her ear, 'I'm sure it's in the flat somewhere'.

'Are you sure it's not at you-know-who's flat?' I ask.

'Don't think so, I'll call him later, he's on his way to pick up his wife and kids from the station right now, and I know he hates to answer the phone whilst he's driving'.
