Noire
An English couple were in Paris when the wife died.... The husband wanted
the funeral there, and needed to buy a black hat for the funeral.
He mistook the word "chapeau" and went in search instead for a "capote".
Asking where he could get a capote, he was directed to the drug-store,
where he asked for a "capote noire".
L'homme... behind the counter said....:
"Capote noire, capote noire??....Monsieur, nous avons des capotes jaune,
et des capotes rouge, mais...capotes noire ...nous n'en avons pas!"
"Mais Monsieur.....pourquoi voudriez-vous une capote noire?"
The poor widower replied:
"C'est pour ma femme. Elle est.....morte!!"
"Ah.....!!" replied the man at the drug-store...
"Les Anglais...alors.....quelle finesse!!"
