PIES!
During their lunch hour two 'Yorkshire men wfnt to see how the match was going. Anxious to see as many runs as possible, they could not let thpir lunch go altogether, so one of them whistled to a boy and said: “ Here’s a shilling, sonny. Run round to the shop at the corner and bring three fourpenny .pies. You can have one.”
Off went the boy, and a minute or two later he was back, giving the Yorkshireman eightpence and no pies. “Here, ’’ said he, ,“ what is this?” “ It’s your change,” the boy replied. “ They only had one pie at the shop.”
