STATIC
CURATE in Devonshire was showing with pride the old carved screen in the church to tourists. He put his hand on one of the carved heads as he spoke. The sexton, agitated, came up: "Oh, zur, do take your hand off that head, it’s holy, zur; the bishop when he came down last, was shortsighted, zur, and he confirmed two of those heads." * * % A BOY asked a bishop for an autograph-" Didn’t I give you one before?" "Oh yes, sir, but I had to swap two bishops for a prize fighter." * * * ERMAN authorities claim that they have plenty of sausage skins now. Unfortunately, the sausages can’t make both ends meat. * * * HE called his wife Flo, because she talked in a steady stream. * * * Y wife has the worst memory I ever heard of. Forgets everything, eh?’ No, remembers everything.
