PERPETUAL MOTION Dave, a recruit from the country, had been warned of the crooks who make up with soldiers in city bars in order to get their money. He was having one or two on his own when a stranger tapped him on the shoulder. “Have one with me, dig?” “No, thanks,” Dave answered, “I’ve just had one:” “Oh, that’s all right,” was the stranger’s answer. “Havo another?” “I’m sorry,” said Dave, “I’ve just had another.” “Oh, well, if that’s the case, start in wherever you stopped,” suggested the stranger. .“I can’t do that, either,” Dave told him. “I haven’t stopped yet.”
