'Oh...these French and their language' by K.J.S.Chatrath




A French man arrives home unexpectedly early from the office to find his wife in the arms of a lover.

"Madame," he says. "I am surprised!" 

The wife replies: "No, Monsieur: we are surprised. You are astonished."

Exact use of language is so important!
