Asking the Time
A man who stammered was travelling on a bus. After a while, he asked the passenger beside him:
"W-what t-time is it?"
The other man said nothing. He simply held up his watch for him to see.
A little later, the man asked the same question. Again, his neighbour silently showed him the watch.
After the man with the stammer got off, an elderly passenger said to his neighbour, "Why were you so disrespectful? He asked you a question, but you wouldn't answer him."
The man replied, "B-because I s-stammer too! If I'd a-answered, he might have t-thought I was m-making fun of him—and w-what if he'd hit me?"
