A young man who wished to get married wrote to his father asking his advice. He received the following reply: “My Dear Son: Your mother and I would like to see you happily married. She tells me to point out the many advantages-cosy fireplace, chair, slippers, pipe, and so on, with your darling wife sitting beside you. I am proud to know, my boy, that you have decided to settle down at last. “P.S. —Your mother has just left the room. Keep single, you darned idiot. Father.”
