A great arctic explorer was giving a speech concerning his experiences at a reception in his honour upon his return from the bitterly cold north.
He explained that a point further north would have been reached, if not for the dogs giving out at a critical time.
A lady, who had followed the explorer's remarks carefully, ventured a
comment as the speaker paused:
"But I thought those husky dogs were actually tireless."
The explorer hesitated, and cleared his throat several times before answering.
"I was speaking," he extrapolated , "in a, er, culinary sense."
