Whimsical.
In a certain lunatic asylum the other day, as the doctor was going his usual morning round among the patients, he was accosted by one man who pitifully complained of suffering from & severe cold. The doctor expressed his sorrow to hear such was the case and asked him if he knew how he caught it. " Through drinking out of a damp teacup," was the reply. The doctor smilingly advised him to see that his teacup was well aired in the future, and prescribed for him accordingly.
