A ten-year-old boy rushed into the shop.
"Father's being chased by a bull," he cried.
"What can I do about it?" asked the shopkeeper. "Put a new roll of film in my camera."
"There's a lot of favouritism in our family," complained the little boy. "When I bite my finger nails I get a hiding; but if baby puts his whole foot in his mouth, they think it's cute."
A Scots actor went to London and took lodgings. "With his morning cup of tea the landlady sent up two thin slices Of bread and butter. He complained.
The next day she sent up three slices, but still he complained. The third day she cut a loaf in two, put a quarter of a pound of butter on each slab and sent that up. When he came down she asked defiantly: "Bread and butter all right?" "Aye, no so bad," the Scotsman replied, "but ye've gone back to two slices."
