A couple of Cockney urchins were looking at a pig for the first time. One said: “Why do you s'pose it’s got a ring through its nose?” His brighter brother said: "Booby, it’s married.” ’ A Scottish recruit was met by his colonel. "Who are you?” asked the colonel. “Fine thanks, and hoo’s yerself?” A spectator at a cricket match was disgusted with the players, and turning to the man sitting next to him, said, "Fancing putting on a rotten bowler like that!” “Well,” was the angry reply, “it’s better than your old straw hat, anyway.”
