English humorous stories

An old gentleman whose eyesight is failing checked into a hotel room with a bottle of wine in each hand. There is a fly on the wall, which he thinks is a nail. So when he hung them up, the bottle fell and the wine spilled all over the floor. When a waitress found out what had happened, she felt sorry for him and decided to do him a favor.

So the next morning, when he was walking in the roof garden, she nailed a nail where the fly stayed.

Now the old man walks into his room. The smell of spilled wine reminded him of the accident. When he looked up at the wall, he found the fly there again! He walked up to it carefully and slapped it with all his strength. Hearing a loud cry, the kind waitress rushed in. To her great surprise, the poor old man was sitting on the floor with his teeth clenched and his right hand bleeding!

Nails or flies?

An old gentleman whose eyesight is failing has checked into a hotel room. He has a bottle of wine in each hand. There is a fly on the wall. He mistook it for a nail. He hung two bottles, and the bottles fell and broke, and the wine spilled all over the floor. When a waitress found out what had happened, she felt sorry for him and decided to help him.

So, when he went for a walk in the garden on the roof the next morning, she nailed a nail where the fly stopped.

Speaking of which, the old man returned to the room. The smell of spilled wine reminded him of that. He looked up at the wall and the fly stopped there again! He approached gently and applauded as hard as he could. Hearing a loud cry, the kind waitress rushed into the room. To her great surprise, the poor old man was sitting on the floor, his teeth clenched and his right hand was bleeding.
