A man was fishing in the northern mountains. One day his guide took to telling him
anecdotes about the bishop whose guide he had been the previous summer,
“Yes.” the guide was saying, “he’s a good man except for his language.”
“Are you saying that the bishop swears?” asked the man.
“Oh, but of course, sir,” said the guide. “Once he caught a fine salmon. Just as
he was about to land it, the fish slipped off the hook, so I say to the bishop,
“That’s damned bad luck!’ and the bishop, he looks me straight in the eye and he
says. “Yes, it is indeed!’ But that’s the only time I heard the bishop use such
language.”
