| Tania | Hey Mel, I heard you had a job interview this morning. How did it go? |
| Mel | Not so good! I was so nervous I felt like a bundle of nerves! |
| Tania | Don’t worry, we all feel like that during job interviews. |
| Mel | Maybe so, but so many things went wrong! The whole thing really left me with a bad taste in my mouth. |
| Tania | What happened? |
| Mel | Well, I woke up late and didn’t really have a chance to put on my face. I think I gave a whole new meaning to bad hair day! |
| Tania | Come on, Mel. I don’t think it was that bad! |
| Mel | I haven’t told you the worst part yet! |
| Tania | What happened? |
| Mel | I broke wind, just as my prospective employer entered the room! |
| Tania | You passed gas? Uh, do you have any other interviews lined up? |
