Aunty at the Cafeteria: Are you married?
Margarette (the other fellow): No
Aunty: Are you engaged?
Margarette: No
Aunty: Doesn't anybody love you?

Here's the rest of the conversation:

Cafeteria Aunty: Doesn't anybody love you?
Margarette: I am fine by myself - thank you.
Cafeteria Aunty: Then you must be a slut - stay away from my husband and sons.
Margarette: Excuse me?
Cafeteria Aunty: If you're not married, engaged or in love, and you're not a slut, then you almost don't exist. Go jump into a well.
Margarette: No, thank you.
Cafeteria Aunty: Here - eat some fried food then. No one will marry you if you stay so skinny. Look - you don't even have a belly to hang your sari on.
Margarette: I don't wear saris.

Cafeteria Aunty faints and collapses into a giant tub of "roshgollas".
