I remember a television play or mini series from some years ago, I thought it was a Dennis Potter thing but can't find what it might have been, starring Alfred Molina (perhaps better known as Doc Ock in Spiderman 2, a bishop in The da Vinci Code if anybody actually watched that and the short-lived and treacherous Satipo in Raiders of the Lost Ark; however I'll always see him as his fantastic performance of immortal comedy genius Tony Hancock in a BBC "Screen One" play).
Anyway, there was a running joke throughout the episodes, parodying one of the more annoying things that actually happens in real life, in which someone would pay for some inexpensive item they want to buy using, say, a £20 note. "Haven't you got anything smaller?" says the cashier, to which Molina replies "Well, I think I've got a 5p piece." "That's not enough," says the cashier. "I know," says Molina, "that's why I gave you the £20 note!"
I would so love to do that in real life!

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
