‘At what time does your last film begin?’
‘I’m sorry,’ said Mrs Jones, ‘but you have the wrong number. This is not the cinema.’
‘Oh, it began twenty minutes ago,’ said the man. ‘I’m sorry about that. Goodbye.’
Mrs Jones was very surprised, so she told her husband. Mrs Jones Laughed and said,
‘The man’s wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard HIM, but she didn’t hear You. Now they will stay at home this evening, and the husband will be happy!’

Miss Green came again two weeks later, but she wasn’t thinner, she was fatter. The doctor was surprised and said, ‘ Are you eating the things listed on page 11 of the small book?’
‘Yes, doctor,’ she answered.

They aren’t in your diet.’
‘But, doctor,’ Miss Green answered. ‘I ate my diet at lunch time. This is my dinner.’

Passage
Whose Fault Is It?
An important businessman was asked to give a twenty-minute speech in another city. He ws too busy to write it himself, so he asked his secretary to put one together for him out of a large book of speeches which she had on her desk. She typed one out for him, and he picked it just in time to rush off to his plane. But when he gave his speech, it ran on for an hour, and the audience was getting very restless and bored by the end of it.
When the businessman got back to his office, he complained to his secretary about this. ‘ I told you it was supposed to be a twenty-minute speech!’ he said to her bitterly.
‘That’s what I gave you,’ she answered, ‘ the original and the two copies. The original for you to read at the meeting and the two copies for the file, after you have checked them.’
