Colin is sat opposite Mr Picton a solicitor sat at a desk.

Colin: Look it's been six months since me and Louisa spilt and filed for divorce what the hell is taking so long?

Mr Picton: I'm afraid Mr. Baker it's all this red tape.

Colin: People get divorced every day how can red tape be holding up preceding?

Mr. Picton pulls opens a door in his desk and pulls a number of files and paper stuck badly together with red tape.

Mr. Picton: We haven't been able to pull the pages apart without ripping all the details off.

Now that is excelent.

A simple joke, but you get there very quickly and economically.
