English Pub – “George and the Dragon”
An 18th-century vagabond in England, exhausted and famished, came to a roadside Inn with a sign reading: "George and the Dragon."
He knocked. The Innkeeper's wife stuck her head out of a window. "Could ye spare some victuals?" he asked.
The woman glanced at his shabby, dirty clothes. "No! bugger off" she shouted.
Could I have a pint of ale?" "No! On ýer way" she shouted. “
"Could I at least sleep in your stable?" "No! Get the hell out" she shouted again.
The vagabond said, "Might I please ........... ?" "What now?" the woman screeched, not allowing him to finish.
"D'ye suppose," he asked, "that I might have a quick word with George?"
