[00:17.14]Lesson 89
[00:19.99]A slip of the tongue
[00:22.71]People will do anything to see a free show--even if it is a bad one.
[00:28.32]When the news got round
[00:29.95]that a comedy show would be presented at our local cinema
[00:33.81]by the P.and U.Bird Seed Company,we all rushed to see it.
[00:39.43]We had to queue for hours to get in
[00:42.24]and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began.
[00:47.99]Unfortunately,the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen.
[00:53.41]Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed,
[00:57.46]as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come.
[01:02.12]The only funny things we heard that evening came from the
[01:05.52]advertiser at the beginning of the programme.
[01:09.30]He was obviously very nervous
[01:11.83]and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone.
[01:16.61]As soon as he opened his mouth,everyone burst out laughing.
[01:21.39]We all know what the poor man should have said,but what he actually said was:
[01:27.83]'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company Good ladies,evening and gentlemen!'
 

Who made the only funny joke that evening and why?
