754 - BARGE

AlbERt, the retired sarge, spread some marge on his toast and sat out at the aft deck of his narrowboat enjoying his breakfast and watching the world go by. A passer-by spoke to him - "I like your boat - the decoration is awesome". "Thank you", Albert replied, "do you want to join me for a cuppa and toast on my narrow boat?" "Oh, yes please. And here was me thinking it was a barge". "Ah yes, a common mistake - a barge is wider."
