Three Frenchmen are discussing the true meaning of savoir-faire, the ability
to act with composure in any situation.
The first man says, "Let us take this situation. The wife is in bed with her
lover & the husband walks in. She says, 'George, meet Jacques'. This is
savoir-faire."
The second man says, "No, not quite. Let us use the same situation. The husband
replies, 'Please continue.' Now, this is savoir-faire."
The third man says, "No, there is more. We shall use the same situation. The
husband says to the lover, 'Please continue.' And if he can, this is truly
savoir-faire!" |
