Wife (from the queue at the till): Darling, they haven't got any cream.

Husband (sitting at table behind me, surrounded by shopping bags): Right. That's it. We're going.

One wonders what sequence of events had led to him finding a lack of cream the catalyst for abandoning all hope of coffee and fleeing home. Perhaps a surfeit of sales?
