102.Old Wives' Tales p.198

 

    Connie and Willy are talking about the previous lesson.
C: Do you believe what they say about chili peppers?
W: Frankly speaking, I don\'t. The last time I got hurt playing soccer, my mom told me not to eat anything
   spicy. She said it will irritate the wound.
C: My mom is the same. For example, according to her, eating fish eyes is good for the eyes.
W: If you think that\'s weird, listen to this. My mom says eating pigs\' brains makes you smart.
C: Are you kidding? Frankly speaking, I don\'t believe in any of these of wives\' tales.
W: I wish you would tell that to my mom. I\'m sick of eating pigs\' brains.
C: Poor guy!
W: Don\'t tell anyone, OK? Or I\'ll never hear the end of it .
C: Ok. It doesn\'t work anyway.
W: What do you mean?
C: I\'m only kidding. You\'re at least as smart as a pig.
