Professor Archer is having lunch with the Director at the Restaurant Avenida.

Director: What would you like, Professor?

Director: Perchaps caldeirada?

Archer: What’s that?

Director: Fish soup.

Archer: That sounds nice.

Director: And you must have some feijoada.

Archer: What’s that?

Director:It’s a local speciality—pork with black beans.

Archer: Yes, I’d like some of that.

Director: Is there anything you can’t eat?

Archer: I don’t like chili.

Director: That’s all right—there’s no chili in feijoada. Do you mind if I smoke?

Archer: Not at all. Would you excuse me for a moment? (To waiter) Excuse me, can you tell me where the toilets are?

Waiter: Over there, sir.
