THE WRONG PEA.
An old waiter of a club said to a new waiter: "Do you see that old buffer who had just sat down? He's got a brother and they're as alike as two peas. Dress alike and everything, only this one is as deaf as a post. Watch for some fun."
The old waiter then approached the man and said in an ordinary voice much to the amusement of the new waiter: "Well, pieface, what do you want in your nosebag to-day?" "I'll have a mutton chop," said the diner; "and, by the way, it is my brother who is very deaf."
Maid (leaving after extremely short stay): "I suppose you'll send my letters on, ma'am?" Mistress (sarcastically): "Certainly, 1? there's room on the envelope for any more addresses!"
