Where Are We?

For today, a joke. Could you retell this joke below to someone? Take your time for it, practice, try to change voices.


Location of Louisiana in the US

A husband and wife were driving through Louisiana. When they were close to a town called Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town.
After a while of arguing, they decided to go to a local restaurant and have lunch. The husband could not wait to know the correct pronunciation, so he asked the blond waitress at the cash desk.
“Before we order, could you please pronounce where we are very slowly?”
“Burrrr-gerrrr Kiiing.”

• Speculating and Hypothesising
