Riverdunce

(A patron approaches me after sitting through a three-hour classical concert.)

Patron: “Excuse me, when do they start dancing?”

Me: “Um, there is no dancing, ma’am.”

Patron: “Isn’t this Riverdance?”

Me: “No, ma’am. This is the New Zealand Symphony orchestra. Riverdance is on at the theatre next door, and finished about an hour ago.”

Patron: “Why didn’t you tell me? I thought this was the warm-up act.”
