Guy #2: 'What? Who? What happened?'
Guy #1: 'Well, they were out with your woman Reese ... Reese ... Reese ... Whatsername?'
Guy #2: 'Witherspoon?'

Sitting in an antenatal class and the midwife starts explaining about when the baby is born. She is going through how your partner is asked to cut the cord and a youngish Dublin girl interrupts her. She asks if this is when you can ask for an 'inny' or an 'outty' belly button.
Needless to say the midwife has to check that the girl is being serious. All of us other women have to try not to look at each other and hold in our giggles as the girl defends herself saying she thought you could choose!
