Didn't Know the Slang.

An English woman who not long ago moved to Kansas City, Kan., met a friend on the street the other day, says the Times, and startled her by asking: “Do you know where I could find a joint?" *'A Joint?” gasped the friend. "What on earth do you want to find a Joint for?" "Why, Just a natural craving. I’ve been looking all over town for one."
