Overheard: Scouting for girls

Here's a snippet which, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears [in the Student Union Café 27.01.09] I may have doubted its authenticity. But I promise you that this is what was said.

From what I could gather the student speaking was telling her friends about something she'd had to do in a previous job:

Female student: We had to phone her parents and say “We don’t think anything happened, but we just wanted to inform you we found your daughter in a tent …with a Scout”...


It's at times like these when I am sorely tempted to go up to the people I've been listening-in to and ask for more details!

    Love it! I must get my promarkers out... and look at them blankly. I just don't have the drawing talent. Thank goodness for stamps :)
