“Bobby, how old is your big sister?” “Twenty-five.” “Twenty-five? She told me she was just twenty.” “Oh, I expect that’s because she was five before she learned to count.” Sandy and his wife were out motoring one day when their car broke down, and had to be towed to a garage. All the way his wife complained bitterly of the amount it was going to cost them. “It’s scandalous!” she said. “Three pounds for towing the car a matter of three or four miles.” “Never mind,” said Sandy. “I’mi making sure that he earns it—-I’ve put the brakes on.”
