HAVE A LAUGH
TOO INQUISITIVE !
Darkness had descended on the city. Sirens screeched, and people hurried to the shelters. Little Adolf asked his dad: "Tell me, papa, I thought enemy planes could not reach Berlin " Said papa: "Quiet, little imbecile! That is another English lie!"

"If I put down a small deposit, how long would it take me to pay off the full price?" he asked. "Depends on how much you can afford to pay each week," answered the salesman. "Well," said the young man, "I earn £ 5 a week. I guess I could make a weekly payment of five shillings." "Five bob a week!" cried the other. "Why, at that rate it would take you 300 years to buy this boat!" The young man gazed longingly at the trim craft. "Ah, well," he said, "it's worth it!"
