THE SCOT PAID.
An Irishman and a Scotsman decided that each would ask a question, and that the one who asked a question he could not answer himself should pay for drinks. The Irishman had his turn, and asked: "Why is it that a rabbit's hole has no earth on the surface of the ground, the earth being just as smooth around the entrance to the hole us the rest of , the ground?" "Ah!" said the Scot, "I have you now. This is your question. Answer it." "Sure; the reason is because the rabbit starts to dig the hole from the other end." "Yes," said the Scot, "but how docs he get to the other end?" "That's your question," observed the Irishman.
