***
"Mrs. What's-her-name who lives here came in and found Miss What's-her-name unconscious on the floor of her room." [Note that these two What's-her-names are no relation! Their actual surnames are Leatherbarrow and Gullimore, respectively.]
***
"What the hell does he want a French lesson for?"
"To learn French, of course."
