MILKMAN AS NURSE
Asked to Feed the Cat
A Birmingham milkman, who has always made a point of being “obliging” to his customers, is wondering whether he has overdone it.
When one customer left a jug and a saucer which read: “Please put my milk in the jug and pour a little in the saucer for Timmy” (presumably a cat), he did not really mind, but performed the task and went blithely on his way. But the wilkman began to fell that the milk business was a little too exacting when he found, on the doorstep, of another customer, a note which said: "I am in bed with influenza. Would you please come in. warm me some milk on the gas stove, and bring it upstairs?’’ Always ready to oblige, he did so; but he wonders what on earth he will be asked to do next!
