>>>>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?

Yes to both questions.
