Odds and Ends.
Take the conceit out of some men, and there wouldn't be enough left to stand up. A man who recently invested in some sausages says that when he got them home he cut them apart and left them. In the morning he visited them. Three of them were twined up together, and were sleeping sweetly. Two had crawled to the milk bowl, and were lapping the milk, and ono, a black and white one, was on the garden wall trying to catch a sparrow. He drowned the lot. Hard up : The amount on your bill, doctor, has made me fell quite ill.— Doctor (gleefully) : Has it sir ? Then I suppose you will want me to attend you professionally again. Magistrate : Didn't you know you would be fined for throwing a policeman out of your place of business ? — Accused : No, I didn't know there was a law against tossing coppers.
