[J-54] A Wrong Belch 错的喷吐
After gorging on a good gourmet dinner, a guest was well satisfied. But he did not know table manners. So he belched openly and loudly at the table.
“How dare you belch before the lady?” A fellow guest became irate and complained.
“I'm sorry, Sir,” apologized the guest who belched. “I didn't know it was her turn. But lady first, of course.”
