Rather a humorous remark was made by a bushman recently in a Thames hostelry. He was talking to his mate and said: “Yes I got the D.C.AL today.” His mate appeared a bit puzzled and asked: “What did you say?” To which the humorist rejoined “I got. the D.C.M. to-day. I got the ‘Don’t Come Afonday.’ I got the sack.” And after a muttered, but pithy, remark as to the evils of being out of work, the conversation turned into other channel*.
A member of the legal profession received a reply from a witness in a case at the Afagistrate’s Court at Paeroa the other afternoon that fairly convulsed those present. Counsel was probing into the affairs of a judgment debtor, w’hen he indignantly demanded: “What are you doing with that money you got from Waihi?’’ “You are getting that,” retorted the witness. “Yes, yes,” admitted counsel, as he subsided with a sickly smile.
