听力原文：W: Morning. Gall. Did you enjoy your holiday in the country？

M: Yes. We had a great time. And some friends went along with us.

W: Where did you stay？ In a hotel？

M: No. We camped in the mountains, near Snowdon. We cooked all our meals over an open fire.

W: Sounds great. Was the weather good？

M: The sun shone nearly every day and it didn't rain at all.

W: Did you like the people there？

M: Yes, they were friendly. We met some farmers and had tea in their houses.

M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us. But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves.

W: Yes, and then there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped, you know, deaf, or short-sighted, things like that. After all, it's not really funny to be like that.

M: Oh, I think that's because we're embarrassed. We don't know how to cope with the situation. Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we might get like that, so we laugh. What about the custard pie routine？

W: What do you mean "custard pie routine"？

M: You know, all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss, he picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face.

W: That never makes me laugh very much, because you can guess it's going to happen. But a lot of people still find it laughable. It must be because it's the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quite have the courage to.

M: I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated. She said it relieved her feelings.

W: It must have come a bit expensive.

M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china.
