Joe (an American) Nancy (an Englishman)
Once Joe came to Britain for the first time by air. When he arrived at Nancy’s home. He asked, “ Could I use your bathroom?” Nancy said ok and gave him a clean towel and told him that the bathroom was upstairs. After a while, however, Joe didn’t find the bathroom.
