Dave’s cobber had been killed in action, so the first day Dave was on leave he went into the office of a leading daily paper and told the counter clerk that he wished to insert an “In Memoriam” notice in memory of his cobber. “How much do you charge?” Dave asked. “Four shillings an inch,” the clerk told him. “Cripes, I couldn’t afford that much,” Dave replied. “Yer see, my old cobber was six-feet-four in his socks.”
