L: Do you think some people would die from a crushed bone?

A: No. You probably wouldn’t die from that.

L: What about a falling off ear?

A: No, probably not that either. Anyway, people’s ears don’t tend to just fall off.

L: Well, my teacher’s dog Sally only had half a tail.

A: Really?

L: Yes.

A: What happened to the other half?

L: Don’t know. Just sort of fell off, I suppose.
