The Story of the Linguist and Boatman
One day there was a linguist who took a boat ride with the boatman. while on the boat they chatted.
Linguist: hey boatman, do you know compound sentences?
Boatman: I don’t know sir
Linguist: sucks, you’re old, but compound sentences you don’t know. You’re the loser, old man. Do you understand what literary sentences are like?.
Boatman: I don’t understand sir.
Linguist: hmm, you’re old but you don’t understand literature. So, what’s your age spent?.
The linguist kept asking the boatman in a demeaning and harassing tone.
Suddenly a big storm came and made the ship they were riding almost sink. Things got into panic. Then the boatman asked the linguist,
Boatman: Sir, can you swim?.
Linguist: no, I can’t.
Boatman: You’re old, but you can’t swim. Then you’ll be dead soon. Goodbye, I’m leaving.
The boatman swam ashore and left the linguist alone.
the end.
