The kindly, employer handed him his drink with the words: “That’s another nail in your coffin, my man.” “Well, .guv’nor,” replied the "tramp,, “ while you’ve got the ’arnmer on yer, you might drive in another.” Gaol Visitor: “My friend, have you any religious convictions?” Prisoner: “ Well, I reckon that’s the right word. I was sent here for robbing a church.” It is a little astonishing that it should be so much safer, at the present day, to kill a man' with a motor car than with any other instrument.—Mr Robert Lynd.
