Overheard Supermarket Conversation

The following scenario could have taken place anywhere in the world.

I happened to overhear this conversation many years ago and could not get away from the couple fast enough.  I also could not get the conversation out of my head.

For the want of easy reading, let us call the man 'Adam' and the lady 'Eva'.

Adam says to Eva: "I have been watching the women in these queues and they are all working and busting their arses, while you sit at home on your FAT arse and are tired and look as if you have the world on your shoulders".
"The women that are working are all HAPPY.  You must get off your FAT arse and find work.  Jeremiah said the other night that it is easy to find work, and the only people who cant find work are lazy and dont want to work.  Didn't you hear him say that or did it go over your head?

Today I often wonder about Adam and what has become of him. Is he working? Is he happily married?  And what about Eva.  Did she ever manage to escape Adam's tyranny  and did she manage to stop being treated like a regular doormat.

Just for the record, Eva was not fat and neither did she have a fat arse!
