A famous admiral who was known for many adventures at sea was invited to a
party where he was asked to retell about some of his fantastic experiences.
"You know," he said, "I had been living for three years among
cannibals after a shipwreck... ."
"I am awfully sorry," said the lady of the house appologetically,
"I didn't know about it, and today you'll have to satisfy yourself with
some veal at dinner."
