An English bishop was visiting New York and had been warned about ‘quote-hungry’ American reporters.
As he was walking down the stairs off the plane, a voice amid the camera flashes called out “Hey, Bishop! Will you be visiting any strip clubs while you’re in New York?”
The bishop gave a crinkly smile and said innocently: “Dear me, are there such establishments in this city?”
When he got to his hotel, the headline in the evening paper read: LIMEY BISHOP’S FIRST QUESTION: “ARE THERE ANY STRIP CLUBS IN NEW YORK?”
