Answer 1

An American lady travelling in England got into a compartment in a smoking carriage where an Englishman was smoking a pipe. For a short time she was sitting quietly  expecting that the Englishman would stop smoking. But when the train was under way for half an hour, she began to cough and sneeze trying to show him that she objected to the smoke. At last, seeing that all her efforts  to attract his attention had failed she addressed  him impatiently, “ If you were a gentleman you would stop smoking when a lady got into the carriage.” – “If you were a lady,” replied the Englishman, - “you would not get into a smoking carriage.” – “ If you were my husband,” said the American lady angrily,- “I would give you poison.” The Englishman looked at her for a moment or two. “Well,” he said at last, - “if I were your husband I would take it.”
