Just yesterday, my next-door neighbour and I were discussing who was
responsible for repairing a wind-damaged fence. Referring to a previous
incident some years ago, she said the person who resolved the matter on
that occasion must be right, because he was a "professional".

She found it very hard to understand why I couldn't stop laughing.
