Many, many moons ago I worked for the AN bank, behind the counter, one day we girls were chatting and one of them said that one of the customers an older lady had offered her an old camel colored coat and when she described it well no wonder she had polity refused. A little while later an old boy came in wearing knee high boots a sort of overall and a woolly hat (very sort of Peruvian) with tassels hanging over his ears, but to make things worse he was wearing an old camel coat much too small for him the sleeves reached his elbows, I looked round at my co-worker and said ah! there's your coat & with that went in to a fit of laughter which continued even when the old boy came to my window I just couldn't stop (I was dying with embarrassment hoping he wouldn't think I was laughing at him) My manager who saw what was going on kept telling me to shut up! & the more I tried the worse it got, tears running down my face. It wasn't the old boy it was the coat, even now thinking about it makes me cringe.
