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 ya spare some victuals?" he asked.
The woman glanced at his shabby, dirty clothes. "No!" she shouted.
"Could I have a pint of ale?"
"No!" she shouted.
"Could I at least sleep in your stable?"
"No!" 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 speak with George?"
Just found this. Got it in an email back in 2002.
BTW - for those who haven't seen the word "victuals" before, it is pronounce "vittles". Yeah, threw me when I first saw it (an eon ago in high school...).
