Tale Of The Dav
A motorist who offered a pedestrian a lift noticed shortly afterwards that his watch was missing. Stopping the car, he picked up a large spanner and, raising it above his head, exclaimed: “Hand over that watch.” The stranger meekly complied, and then allowed himself to be kicked out of the car. When the motorist returned, home he was greeted | by his wife. “How did you get along without your watch?” she asked. “I suppose you know that you left it on the dressing table?”
