TOO CURIOUS.
A number of noisy young men were passing through a village late one night on their way home. They saw that a new notice board had been nailed to a post just over a fence. They stopped and tried to read it, but were unable to do so on account of the darkness. One of them however, determined to settle the matter. He climbed to the top, being pushed up by his companions. He came down faster than he went up, for the notice which he was so anxious to read was : "WET PAINT." And well he knew it when he got home and found his new summer suit oovered with bright green paint.
