True, but not the whole truth (2)

In the days when one crossed the Atlantic by ship, the Archbishop of Canterbury came down the ship's steps to be greeted by a crowd of reporters. It so happened that a major scandal was running in New York at the time, focussed on the spread of brothels in the city. One reporter asked the Archbishop whether he would be visiting any brothels in New York; the archbishop's reply revealed his lack of sophisticated, because it enabled the newspaper headline: 'Archbishop's First Question: Are there any Brothels in New York?'


Mind how you go,

Valerie.
