The Irishman undressed. The doctor measured his chest ana pounded his back. “Hop over this rod,” was the next command. The man did his best, landing on his back. “Double up your knees and touch the floor with your hands.” He lost his balance and sprawled upon the floor. Ho was indignant but silent. “Now jump under this cold shower.” “Sure air tliot’s funny,” muttered the applicant. _ “Now run around the room ten times. I want to test your heart and wind.”
“Tile weather is very trying for everybody.'' said the physician. “Yes,” replied Mr Meekton; "I don't see liow my wife is going to bear under it. 'When the sun doesn't shine it gives her the blues, and when it does she says it’s fading the carpet.” “You seem to like his attentions. "Why. don’t you marry him?” “Because I like his attentions.”
