829. " ...separated by a common language"*

* My title is part of a saying generally attributed to George Bernard Shaw.  The full quote (though not found in his writings) is "The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language." 
An Englishman - NOT with his peers -
In a bar in Ft. Worth had some beers.
Uttered "I need a fag."
Made the bartender gag
And say "Buddy, this bar ain't for queers!"


p.s. "Fag" in G.B. is common slang for a cigarette.
