Some angels were travelling on a bus one day. One of them sat alone next to the door while another two of them chatted loudly and cheerfully as the journey progressed. The angel sitting next to the door told a lady, “please tell those angels to shut up”. The lady looked at the angels and said, “the angel said shut up”. The angels ignored her and continued to talk. The lady looked in consternation at the angel next to the door. This angel said again, “tell them I said to shut up”. The lady told the two angels, “shut up. Tais tois” (they were speaking in French creole). Those loud, noisy angels stopped talking for awhile. Finally, unable to contain themselves, they resumed the conversation loudly and with gusto. The lady exclaimed, “the other angel told you to shut up!” The angels replied, “yes, but she didn’t say for how long!”
