English with the Commies

So, the last week I was able to borrow an "English Conversation" book from one of my students when she was in college. The book was published in 1979 and had no native English speakers as authors, just 3 Czech people. But it really wasn't bad, I mean there weren't mistakes or anything, it was just horrid. But I did quite possibly find the best sentence ever.

In an exercise in which you are supposed to find as many possible answers as possible, I found this question to meditate on for a the time being...

"Muriel is a bit ticklish on the subject of waste, isn't she?"
