I mean to say, what a wonderful view from the summit.” BRIGHT SPARK. “That new man Charlie we’ve got on the pumps is certainly a live wire,” said the manager of the petrol station. “Really?” “Yes, a motorist drove up just now and shouted, ‘Dionne Quintuplets!’” “That was a puzzler, wasn’t it?” "Not to Charlie. He simply said, ‘Yes, sir,’ and gave him five galls!”
