At the quay (причал)
A: I think you’ll have a most pleasant voyage. The weather is fine and the sea is calm.
B: You never can tell. A few miles out at sea and the sea may be rough.
A: Are you a good sailor?
B: Not a very good one.
A: The ship is sailing in an hour. Let’s go on board and have a look over the ship.
B: Let’s go.
A: Would you like to go down below and see my cabin or do you prefer to stay up on deck in the fresh air?
B: I prefer to be in the open air. Let’s stay on deck.
A: All right.
A: Excuse me, officer, is there a bus from here to Trafalgar Square?
B: Yes, sir, any bus’ll take you. There’s a bus stop just over there. Ask the conductor to put you down at Trafalgar Square.
A: Thank you.
Does this bus go to Trafalgar Square?
C: Yes, sir. Come along, hurry up. No room on top, inside only ... No standing on the platform ... Pass down the bus, please. Sorry, full up. Sorry, sir, you can’t smoke inside, you’ll have to wait until there’s room upstairs. Fares, please. Trafalgar Square, please ...
A: And will you tell me when we get there?
C: Trafalgar Square! This is where you get off, sir.
A: Thank you.
Joke.
All the passengers boarded the plane and it took off. The plane lifted smoothly and began to gain height. Soon the passengers could hardly distinguish a few landmarks. At first they enjoyed their flight and nobody was getting air-sick. But some time after the plane began rocking and it was found out that the engine was out of order. The passengers were frightened to death. Suddenly they saw the pilot come out wearing a parachute.
“Don’t worry,” he said as he stepped out of the door, “I’m going for help.”
