Wit and Humour.
ORDERLY SEQUENCE. Instructor (giving first lesson to lady driver): This is the gear shift; down there is the brake, and over here is the clutch. Lady Driver: Let’s take one thing at a time; teach me to drive first. EASILY. New Boarder: The landlady is very thoughtful. Although I arrived late for dinner, she saved the tenderest part of the chicken. Old Boarder (suspiciously): What was that ? The gravy. A WEIGHT OFF HER MIND. She was one of those nervous passengers that are such a curse to the officers on a ship. “ Oh, captain,” she quavered, “ what would happen if the ship struck an iceberg?” “ The iceberg would go on as if nothing had happened, madam,” replied the captain. “ Oh, thank you, so much!” gasped the lady. “ I feel so much relieved now.” NO FUNDS. Brent : Tilter boasts that no living man could forge his name successfully to a cheque and get it cashed. Has he such a very peculiar signature ? Grant: No. But he hasn’t any money in the bank.
