«Он чувствует себя как дома»
Однажды, когда его угостили стаканом чая, он положил ложку сахара в стакан и кусок сахара в рот. Увидев, как озадачены были другие гости, решил объяснить: «Вы мне сказали, что я могу чувствовать себя как дома, а дома я пью чай именно так. Моя жена не выносит того, что я делаю такой сладкий чай, поэтому, я кладу кусочек сахара в рот, а когда она отворачивается – еще и ложечку в стакан. С вами я чувствую себя как дома!»
