A joke: A British gentleman

A British gentleman and a French lady shared a same box on a train, and the French lady intended to seduce the British gentleman, so no sooner had she taken off her clothes and lain on her bed than she began to complained about how cold she was. The British gentleman gave his quilt to the lady, however the lady still constantly complained about how cold she was.

" How can I help you better? " , the British gentleman despondently said.

" My mother always made me warm by sleeping with me together when I was a child" , the lady said .

The British gentleman said: " Lady, I can't help you any more, I can't jump down the train to find your mother " . Laughing

Ok.

It's funny - a little.

Personally I'd be careful as the British man. Any woman who takes off her clothes for strange men on a train will probably be carrying and affliction that I don't want to contract.

Shocked

I agree with you, this joke is a little funny, not much funny.

This joke also explains that men who understand the romantic about women are good guys, however men who don't undestand the romantic about women are better guys. Laughing

It's a joke that plays upon the reputation of the English for being cold fish.
Of course, it's not true about the English - they are very passionate about soccer.

Rowan Atkinson is an English comedian. He was born in the North East of England. His parents were farmers.
He has played the part of Mr. Bean, and also Edmund Blackadder, but I thought he was at his best in "Not the Nine o'clock News".

I think he is funny. He is silly too. But it's simple good humor.

Sometimes Mr. Bean is too silly, but once he gets you laughing it's hard to stop.

Yeah. and when British men are mentioned, we often think of Mr.Bean and Prince David Charles :) I prefer Mr.Bean to prince Charles . Charles is a convervative man who married an awful-looking woman
