A Parson was travelling on a train and was doing the daily crossword in his favourite newspaper. �Sitting opposite to him was a young man with a copy of the same newspaper and the Parson noticed that he too was doing the crossword. �The young man seemed to have finished the crossword but the Parson was stuck on one clue.
Parson:��"Excuse me young man but you seem to have solved the puzzle!"
Young man: �"Yes it was an easy one today Parson!"
Parson: �"Well yes...but I am not so sure about five across...it is a four letter word beginning with the letter S and ending with T! �The clue-word is fertilizer!! �I can �t be sure that I have got it right though!"
Young man: �" Oh yes...that one...that one is soo easy! �It �s SOOT!"
Parson: �"Ahem..er..er....oh yes...of course!..ooops! ... can you pass me your eraser please young man!"
He he he !
