A business man went to his club , every afternoon and ordered n glass of whisky, which he drank with closed eyes. This eccentricity had been commented upon by many of the members from time to time. At last one of them thought he might get an explanation of this oft-repeated peculiarity. Apnroaching the business men, he said; “ "tou come here every afternoon at the same hour and order a glass of whisky, nothing extraordinary in that, but do tell us why you close your eyes when you drink it.” Well,” was the reply, “ it’s like this: when I see a glass of whisky it makes my mouth water, and I don’t care to dilute it.”
