“UP AMONG THE EADS.”
Svdney Bulletin tells this one. A long, hungry, Billjim wandered into the new Australian Y.M.C.A. lint at Aldwich (London) the other day, and ordered steak and eggs, or something appropriate. The refreshment was a long time coming, and when Billjim had cleaned up the bread plate in anticipation, he got up to investigate. “Hi, Sis!” he yelled to the harrying waitress who had taken his order, “get a move on with that feed!” .Sis jumped slightly, but got the desired move on, and henceforward was quite the ideal waitress. When the satisfied customer was about to go, a cobber edged along and told him the attendant he had “worded” was Lady Limner, the General’s missus. The tex’rihle news didn’t stampede Billjim. “You blokes is up among the ’eads ’ere, all right,” was all he said.
