“In a little (own far from London, two Americans were so rowdy about settling a fight of their own that they landed in the village gaol. The police found a brand new Act of Parliament preventing them from handling the case in a British court, so the local magistrate had to telephone the nearby Army camp. He said to the sergeant who answered the ’phone: “I’ve a couple of your men picked up for fighting.” Back came the answer: “Well, that’s what they came over here for, isn’t it?” —Mrs Esther Van Wagoner Tufty, in a 8.8. C. broadcast.
