Betty had just returned from church, and was asked how she liked it. “I didn’t like it too much,” she said. ‘‘lt was too long. The bishop preached. I like the dean better than the bishop.” “Why do you like the dean better?” asked her mother. “Well, the dean says ‘Finally,’ and finishes; but the bishop says ‘Lastly,’ and he lasts!” Office Boy: “A lady to see you, sir.” Chief: “Is she pretty?” Office Boy: “Yes—very.” Chief: “Show her in.” Chief (later): “You seem to have a strange idea of female beauty, my boy.” Office Boy: “Well, sir, I thought it might be your wife.” Chief: “It was.”
