>>>============================================================
>>>A woman with her husband seats on opposite side of a bench (? / seat) to a catholic priest in a small coach (wagon) travelling on a country (read - bad) road. On one of the bump of the road the wagon is shaken and a man hits the priest by his head into his belly. After that incident the priest turns to a woman and says "Thank you". Why did he say it?

Hmmm...

The woman that he turns to is the woman across from him? And when he says it is he still in the coach?
