War Puns.
An unfortunate altercation took place at the Motor and Cyle Trader’s dinner at Wellington recent! & One of me guests called for some Turkey without Greece, and the waitress rather rudely replied ‘You must be German” He said “No I’m Hungry,” His friend then nudged him, saying “ Be careful, don’t Russia or she won’t Servia. ” The i waitress then retired, but returned again immediately, saying “Do you intend to Roumania ” The guest replied, “ certainly I want Samoa. ” The waitress then became somewhat familiar, and said “ Ring the Belgium, and I’ll call Nancy v lt will only cost you a New Guinea. ”
