Stories: Sore Throat
Displaying 1 - 1 of 1 -- Add Story
We were two companionships in Tour in 1984-85, and the district leader had a habit of playing practical jokes on us. In January '85, my comp had a mild sore throat, and the district leader Elder Watson said we should go down to the pharmacy and ask for a "soutien-gorge", which translate literally into "support-throat" which he said was the usual remedy for a sore throat. Seemed logical to us, so down we went (you'd think we'd know better by now after all his jokes). The attractive lady behind the counter just stared at my comp when he asked for a soutien-gorge and asked him to repeat it. She laughed at him, and explained that "soutien-gorge" is the French word for a bra. We had been had again by Elder Watson and Elder Steckler. |
