In which month will the auditors come? Where was the flight delayed?

Woman: The auditors have rung to ask which month you’d prefer them to come, November or December?
Man: Why not September, like last year?
Woman: Somebody’s already booked them for then, I’m afraid.
Man: November then. December’s much too busy.

Man: Has the flight from Sydney arrived yet?
Woman: No, sir. It was held up in Singapore.
Man: Really? I thought it was a direct flight.
Woman: No, it stops in Bangkok and Hong Kong as well.
