"TAKE ME AS BEER!"
A man whose appearance and demeanour failed to suggest that he had any sympathy with the .Prohibition cause, stuck up the station-master at a small wayback statien the other day, and requested to be given a permit to travel to Auckland. The stationmaster regarded the applicant with a stony official stare, shook his head and said it couldn't be done. A pause ensued, and then the would-be traveller remarked • You (hie) t take beer on the train d-d-don't you?" He was told they did. " Well, then," continued the applicant, lurching forward, "you can take me as beer-I'm (hie) full up to the bally neck with it!"
