Shirley Talks about Men

As much as every bloke who's ever met her would like to ring her up, Shirley shows clearly she has their number instead.

"He's the only man I know who can drive, steer, change gears, and he's still got two hands left over."		"I have to keep going out with fellas I don't like, just to keep body and soul together."
	"I'm not going out on them streets again. I've had four proposals between 'ere and the bus stop, and they wasn't marriage."
"I ordered a large gin and tonic, with a lot of ice, put it on his bill, and poured it down the front of his trousers. That got his hand off."		"What a pity your ear'oles aren't a bit bigger . . . because then you could shove a toothbrush in and clean out that filthy mind of yours!"
	"I'm not going up there, with you down 'ere!"
"I've never shown him anything!"		"It's rather like a fruit [slot] machine. Once they've made an investment, they keep hoping they're going to get the jackpot."
