Three men in a boat

M-am amuzat copios citind aceasta carte! Am ras acasa, am ras in metrou, am ras in troleibuz. Se pare ca britanicii au un simt al umorului mult mai bine dezvoltat decat crezusem pana acum :)
3 prieteni - George, Harris, J., care este povestitorul - si cainele Montmorency pornesc intr-o calatorie cu barca pe raul Tamisa. Nu vreau sa stric farmecul acestei carti incercand sa rezum peripetiile prin care trec cei 4, asa ca tot ce imi ramane sa spun este: cititi-o!
"Rather an amusing thing happened while dressing that morning. I was very cold when I got back into the boat, and, in my hurry to get my shirt on, I accidentally jerked it into the water. It made me awfully wild, especially as George burst out laughing. I could not see anything to laugh at, and I told George so, and he only laughed the more. I never saw a man laugh so much. I quite lost my temper with him and I pointed out to him what a drivelling maniac of an imbecile idiot he was; but he only roared the louder. And then, just as I was landing the shirt, I noticed it was not my shirt at all, but George's, which I had mistaken for mine; whereupon the humour of the thing struck me for the first time, and I began to laugh. And the more I looked from George's wet shirt to George, roaring with laughter, the more I was amused, and I laughed so much that I had to let shirt fall back into the water again.
- Ar'n't you - you - going to get it out? said George between his shrieks.
I could not answer him at all for a while, I was laughing so, but at last, between my peals I managed to jerk out:
- It isn't my shirt - it's yours!
I never saw a man's face change from lively to severe so suddenly in all my life before.
- What! he yelled, springing up. You silly cuckoo! Why can't you be more careful what you're doing? Why the deuce don't you go and dress on the bank? You're not fit to be in a boat, you're not. Gimme the hitcher!
I tried to make him see the fun of the thing, but he could not. George is very dense at seeing a joke sometimes."
