Lesson140 Going Bananas in Bangkok

Gary and Carrie are driving in the streets of Bangkok.
(G=Gary; C=Carrie)
C: Hey, Gary! Take a look at that cop. He's gone bananas.
G: No, he hasn't. He's dancing and directing traffic at the same time.
C: How ridiculous! He's causing a traffic jam. Because everyone's looking at him, the traffic is almost at
   a standstill.
G: That's not his fault. The traffic almost always moves at a crawl anyway.
C: In that case, I'm going to join him.
G: Hey, come back, Carrie. Don't do that. (Carrie dances with the cop.)
C: This is fun! Look, other people are joining us.
G: What a mess!
