'Ere, isn't that a man's prick sticking out over the door?'
'Well, it certainly isn't a woman's.'

'What's it doin' up there?' says Webb.

'A hat-stand? Get away.'
'Well, it's a stand of some kind,' I explained, 'and this is a house of ill repute.'
Webb grinned from ear to ear. 'Ahh, that's why they got that bloody great chopper sticking out, then.'"
