[J-69] Struck Dumb 震哑
Paul was a guy that could not think of anything to say to women. But the morning after he met a girl at a dance, it was announced that he had become engaged. Amazed, one of his pals inquired as to how it happened.
“Well,” said the bashful man, “I danced with her three times, and I couldn't think of anything to say. Then she decided that I was struck dumb by her beauty.”
