Encounters with the supernatural

It was a seminar on the existence of the supernatural and people who had encountered it.

The speaker, Dr. Reiss, posed a question before the audience, "Has anyone here seen a spirit?"

Almost everyone raised their hands. Dr. Reiss then asked, "Has anyone had a conversation with a spirit?"

A number of people raised their hands. Dr. Reiss asked next, "Has anyone here touched a spirit?"


A few people raised their hands. Dr. Reiss then asked, "Has anyone made love to a spirit?"

An old man at the back raised his hand. Dr. Reiss tried to figure out who had said that, and repeated his question, "Do you mean you really made love with a spirit?"

 The old fellow replied, "Oh, Guess I didn't hear you right the first time. I thought you said 'egret.'"
