A Smile Or Two
(Sent in by Nancy Bignell, 15 Clyde St.. Whangarei). A naval officer suddenly decided he would spend the week-end at home. He sent his wife a telegram and took the next train. On his arrival he found his wife in the embrace of another man. Furiously, he left the house. The next day his father-in-law tried to smooth things over. “I’m quite sure my daughter has an explanation," he said. “Look here, wait until I see her before you apply for a divorce.” The husband reluctantly agreed. The next day the father-in-law, his face beaming. presented himself. “I knew Dorothy would have an explanation.” he said, patting the husband on his back." “She did net get your telegram." v * * * Motorist (paying farmer who has pulled his car out of a mud-hole): I daresay you often pull cars out of this hole ? “Yes.” replied the farmer, “mostly every night.” “What do you do in the daytime?” he was asked. ■‘Oh. I cart water to this mtidholo."
