Jack Junks Opinion of the French Language Two sailors sit on upturned tubs, either side of a low table. Both are wearing the sailor's outfit of long trousers, a cropped jacket and a round hat, and both are smoking a pipe and have a tankard of beer. The sailor on the left asks: "Why Jack! You was so long in a French Prison, I suppose you larnt to patter their Lingo a little?" The sailor on the right replies: "No Bob, I never some how fancied it, they call things out of their names so d--nably, - why would you believe it. They call a Horse a Shovel and a Hat a Chopper!!"
