skewer.. or?

Last week i was in the local souvlaki place ordering a damn fine chicken souvi to go. As i waited for the two old ducks to prepare my meal I had a little listen to their conversation that could be heard by anyone passing by two blocks away. The older lady (late 50s) was obviously greek, and i assume she runs the place.. the younger one (late 30s) perhaps a daughter?.. just guessing.. but they seemed to know a lot about each other.

Now - to get the full effect.. imagine a greek accent tainted with a Tasmanian twang for Older Lady, and your typical cliche thick Taswegian accent for the Younger Mullet Lady.

Older Lady: When's young Steven going to introduce you to that girl whos been hanging around?

Younger Mullet Lady: Ahh he's taking her to the school dinner sooo...

Older Lady: Awww he'd like that!

Younger Mullet Lady: Aww yeah, like christmas on a stick!



Need I say more?...

Christmas on a stick!! I love it...

I wonder how the young lady feels about being reffered to as Chritmas on a stick.
