One of my favorite jokes from the British sitcom "Spaced":

Daisy: [answering phone] Hello? Oh, hi, Mike. Yeah, he's here, I'll just get him.

[to Tim]

Daisy: It's your boyfriend.

Tim: He's not my boyfriend.

[picks up phone]

Tim: Hi babe.

Mike: Hello Timmy!

Tim: Where are you?

Mike: Err, Sheffield.

Tim: What are you doing in Sheffield?

Mike: Fell asleep on the tube.

Tim: The tube doesn't go to Sheffield, Mike.

Mike: Yeah, I know. I, uh, must have changed at King's Cross.

A friend woke up in Leeds once. The main problem was the unexpected cost of a peak time ticket back to London the following morning, which is a lot for a student.
