Houndstooth Textile

My uncomfortable conversation at the London Textile Company...

Me: Hi, do you sell houndstooth?

Him: Yes, we sell houndstooth. What kind?

Me: Just wondering if you sell more houndstooth now than a few years ago.

Him: No. Same amount. Very popular. Why?

Me: I hate it. Can I buy a square foot of it?

Him: We sell by the meter.

Me: Can I buy a meter?

Him: No. We don't sell just a meter. You need more to make a jacket.

Me: Oh, I'm not making a jacket.

Him: What are you making?

Me: Never you mind! Never you mind!
