22nd Joke and Trivia
|
|
In
the weeks before Christmas the British ambassador in Canada
received
a phone call from the CBC (CBC is the Canadian Broadcasting
Company,
a Canadian TV station). The CBC representative on the
other end
of the line thanked the ambassador for his prompt arrival
at interviews
etc., and for a generally good year. The ambassador
returned the
thanks.
The CBC representative then asked the ambassador what
he
wanted for Christmas. Thinking that it might be inappropriate
for him to
accept a gift, the ambassador said that he didn't think that
it was a very
good idea.
However, The CBC representative insisted, and in the
end
the ambassador said that he wanted a small box of crystallized
(candy)
fruits.
The
CBC representative seemed a little puzzled at this answer,
but they
ended the conversation and the ambassador thought nothing
more of
it.
Later that month, on Boxing Day, the ambassador was sitting
watching
the news on TV with his family when he was treated to this
item
at the end: "Before Christmas, we asked three foreign
ambassadors what
they wanted for Christmas. The French ambassador said that
he wanted
world peace and an end to suffering, the German ambassador
said
that he wanted a cure for cancer, and the British ambassador
said that
he wanted a small box of crystallized fruits...."
A
penny doesn't sound like much, until you hear it in the dryer.
