A Little Too Soon.
A professor was going to experiment with laughing gas, when he overheard a student say that under its influence no one was responsible for what he said, and he would lake advantage of this fnxjt, and tell the professor what he thought of him. When the class met, the professor quietly said he would like, for purposes of illustration, to administer the gas to some member, and this student volunteered.
The leather bag was connected with his mouth. He pretended lo be very much excited, and began to abuse and swear at the professor, who let him go on for ..a while; but the class roared when the professor said he needn't be so irresponsible, the gas had not been turned on yet.
