George and the Dragon …….?

A 18th-century vagabond in England, exhausted and hungry, came to a roadside Inn with a sign: "George and the Dragon." He knocked. The innkeeper's wife is stuck his head through a window. "Could you some vital organs of alternative? "he asked. The woman looked at her dingy, dirty clothes." No, "she cried." Could I have a pint of beer? " "No!" she cried. "Could I at least sleep in your stable?" "No!" She cried again. The Vagabond said: "Could I please …?"" And now? "Screamed the woman, not allowing him to finish." D'you suppose, "he said," I could have a word with George?

Hahahahaha! Well good!
