Original Text:
LE BAIN A LA LAME.
LE BAIGNEUR: Y n'faut pas qu'madame crie et s'débatte comme ça..... Si madame s'débat j'pourrai la lacher et si j'lâche madame, madame n'manquera pas de s'noyer.
LE MARI: C'est égal je croyais que c'était plus amusant que ça les Bains de mer.

Translation:
A RISKY BATH.
The swimming instructor:
- Madame really shouldn't be yelling and tossing like that... if Madame keeps on doing that I might let her fall into the water... and if I do that, Madame will surely drown.
The husband:
- what a bore. I had really expected the Bath at the Sea to be more entertaining.
