An Englishman is at home with his girlfriend.
（E=Englishman； G=girlfriend）
G： Have you gone mad？ Why are you roaring your head off like a lion？
E： Rrrrr……ah！
G： Hey， have you gone off your rocket or what？ Cut that out！
E： I'm letting off steam. The guy on TV said it's good for me.
G： Oh， really？ Meowww！ Meowww！
E： Hey， what are you doing？
G： The girl on the radio said meowing like a cat helps to cure indigestion.
E： Come on， that's absurd. You can't believe everything people say， you know.
G： Look who's talking！
E： Uh……OK， wise guy. You win.
