I wonder about my wife sometimes. She's getting harder to comprehend all the time.
Take last weekend, for example: my nephew had come over to visit and was telling me all about the movie club that he's been enjoying this year at school. I had to admit that I hadn't heard of most of the films, but they sounded interesting. That evening, when I was telling my wife about it, she looked strangely at me then burst out laughing. I asked her what was so funny and she said "Your earring is a Paul Ling".
The thing is, I don't wear any earrings.
Anyway, here is the list of films my nephew told me about:

After Mr. Rhames had finished using his towel, he longed for the climate control of his former apartment. (3,4,6,1.1.)

Another documentary, this time about the slate-coloured cloak that batman uses when he's experimenting. (3,4,4,4)
