Appropriate behaviour

A man with a waxed jacket
Is putting empty glass bottles
Into a blue skip
At the recycling centre.

A woman walks by,
Takes off one of her shoes
And throws it into the skip.

"This skip is for glass not shoes,"
Says the man.

The woman takes off her glasses
And throws them into the skip.

The man is now satisfied
With the appropriateness
Of the woman's behaviour.
