| Bill | What do you think of my new pullover, Ted? |
| Ted | Well, it's very nice as far as I can see, but put it on first, then I'll tell you if it suits you. |
| Bill | I tried on about twenty. This one isn't what I wanted really. |
| Ted | Why did you buy it then? |
| Bill | The salesman sold it to me before I realised what had happened. He just never stopped talking and he told me some story about the latest fashion and special reductions. Before I could say anything he'd wrapped it up and taken my money. |
| Ted | Well, it doesn't look too bad, but haven't you put on inside out and back to front? |
| Bill | Really? Well, I can't tell the back from the front with these high-neck pullovers. I really wanted one with a V-neck. |
| Ted | It's a good thing it's got sleeves at the top or you'd put it on upside down as well. Still, I think it suits you quite well. |
| Bill | I went out to get a blue pullover with a V-neck, 20 short sleeves and a pattern, and I came home with brown one with a high neck, long sleeves and no pattern. |
| Ted | You must be too easy to take in. You've got to lei to stand up to these high-pressure salesmen. They'll sell you all sorts of things you don't want if you don't watch out. |
| Bill | Next time I'll send my wife. She'll probably sell something to the salesman. |
