Are there retiring allowances and pensions?” “My illustrious friend,” replied the pasha, “the public functionary here who stands in need of a retiring allowance when his terms of office expires is a. fool!” Office Manager: Miss Tapper. I don’t want to be harsh, but — Typist: Well, what’s wrong? “I just want to ask you not to write your young man during business hours. Letters are apt to get mixed.
