    Tubing radio in and classic FM came on.

    Me: is this Handel?
    Lad at work: what's that?
    Me: who. He's a composer.
    Him: no idea
    Me: oh. I bet you're more of a Bach kind of guy right?
    him: who?
    Me: nevermind. How about Wagner?
    Him: from xfactor?
    Me: no he's another composer. You must know him. *Hums ride of the valkyries*
    Him: never heard it
    Me: you must know at least one famous composer?
    Him: I don't think so.
    Me: Schubert? Brahms? Tchaikovsky?
    Him: No idea
    Me: Mozart? You must know Mozart.
    Him: who's that?
    Me: probably the most famous composer ever. EVERYONE knows mozart. Come on you must know at least one? How about Beethoven?
    Him: the dog?

    Watching a programme about the Second World War at the Youth Club I worked at once.
    Asked a young lad if he knew any Churchill sayings.
    He looked at me and said " is it that dog that sez Oh Yes."?
