As Graham was engrossed in watching a late-night program on Channel 4 titled "Footballers with Their Shirts Off," he was startled when Thinking Betty unexpectedly entered the room on the trail of the hairdryer.
Betty exclaimed, "I didn't know you were interested in football."
Graham quickly added, "No one must ever find out that I am not the marrying sort. Certainly not my wife, or my mother."
