Silent Advice
An elderly couple were attending church when about halfway through the service she leaned over and said to him, "I just had a silent passing of gas. What should I do?"
Her husband leaned over to her and replied, "It's too late to do anything now, but when we get home please put a new battery in your hearing aid."
- Elderly is a polite way of saying...............
- Do you think the couple were Catholic or not? How can you tell?
- Gas is an American word, what is the polite equivalent in British English in this context?
- Why did the woman's husband tell her to put a new battery in her hearing aid?
This story really made me laugh! It’s about an elderly couple — that’s just a polite way of saying old — who are in church when something pretty funny happens. The woman thinks she had a silent passing of gas, but her husband tells her to change the battery in her hearing aid because it obviously wasn’t silent at all! 😂 In British English, people usually say “wind” instead of “gas.” I’m not sure if they were Catholic or not, but it sounds like they were just at a normal church service. Such a funny and cute story!
ReplyDeletePerfect again. I suspect the couple were not Catholic Church, because in a Catholic church we say Mass and Anglicans say service. Thanks for your comment.
