Faux Pas!
At an annual meeting of an English club, the vicar’s wife was offered a cup of tea. “Would you mind if I had a glass of champagne instead?” she whispered in the hostess’s ear. “This is the only occasion on which I can get one, and I look forward to it.”
“But I thought,” said the hostess, “that you were the leader of our local teetotallers?”
“Oh, no, I’m president of our Purity League.” e “How stupid of me!” said* the hostess. “I knew there was something you didn’t do.”
Women are never satisfied. They are either trying to put weight on, take it off, or rearrange it.
