Pedestrian solipsism

I had some dozy Dorris strolling across the road with a mug of tea in one hand whilst on the phone yesterday. I mean who the hell crosses the road holding a mug of tea? I'm not sure what her game was but I do know she go the fright of her life when I avoided her by sheer mms.

I saw a tv program once about a guy with a rare muscle spasm which could only be tamed when he was holding a mug or playing the flute.
Could well explain it.
She didn't have a flute about her person by any chance did she?
