A Polish couple is travelling by train in England. A reading
Englishman is sitting opposite them, covered with
a newspaper. The husband suddenly reaches for
a sandwich because he is hungry, but his wife nudges him and says:
That’s rude. Maybe ask him if he wants a sandwich too.
The husband knocked on the Englishman’s knee. He leaned out from behind the newspaper.
And the sandwich? – asks the husband.
– No, thanks – says the Englishman.
The husband ate a sandwich and wanted to drink some tea, but his wife said to him again:
The husband accosts the Englishman again:
And a cup of tea?
– No thanks – refuses the Englishman.
However, the wife continues to scheme:
I know. We didn’t introduce ourselves, it’s very uncultured.
The husband sighed, but he again accosted the Englishman. He leaned out from behind the newspaper. The husband began to introduce his wife:
– My wife.
“No thanks,” the Englishman interrupts him.
