Hobby and titmouse

"A hobby that degenerates into a tit was already one before."
Fritz B. Busch
Do you know why you're here?
Where am I?
That's beside the point. So you don't know why?
No, not really.
Is it true that you have 533 model cars?
How do you know that?
That doesn't matter. Did you have a difficult childhood?
Are you a psychiatrist?
Psychologist. So, what was your childhood like?
My parents hated cars.
And now you compensate...?
I don't compensate, I collect.
Exactly.
Just how? Why am I even here?
You went off the deep end.
Oh that?! I just wanted to install a model car display cabinet in the bathroom...
You completely demolished the bathroom.
I had no way of knowing that there was a water pipe right where I was drilling.
And an electrical line! There was a short circuit. Your girlfriend was afraid for you and came running.
And in the process she trampled my propeller-driven van and a very rare Jaguar, and that's when I lost my composure and smashed the bathroom mirror.
They should have turned off the water.
I couldn't think straight anymore.
Do you think it's normal to have a model car display cabinet in the bathroom?
There was just enough space.
And your girlfriend agreed?
No!!!
Darling, what are you shouting about?
Me: I had a nightmare.
What kind of nightmare?
I'll tell you later. I'll get us a coffee first.
