A Couple of Overheards

Overheard 1:

We'd been watching channel 57 (TruTV) which shows 60s videos and music. Elvis Presley had just been on.

Hay: "Elvis' manager was Dutch, despite having an English name. His real name was Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk"

Chairman: "Colonel Sanders wasn't Dutch!"

"Hay: "It was Colonel Tom Parker, not the Kentucky Fried Chicken blokes."

Chairman: "Oh, of course, it was a slip of the tongue. I knew it wasn't Berne Sanders."

Overheard 2:

We'd just bought a portion of chips to share on our way back to our hotel in Babbacombe.

Chairman: "The South Americans had the potato for thousands of years and yet never invented the chip. Europeans did that, although the Belgians and the French argue as to which nation was the inventor."

Hay: "So how did the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans cook their potatoes before Europeans took them to Europe?"

Chairman: "Dauphinoise, I presume, or tartiflette."
