SERVED HER RIGHT.
Athlete’s Wife (fishing for a compliment): ‘ Which of the many prizes you have won, Fred, did you feel the most pride in winning ?’ Fred : ‘ I don’t know, Maria ; but I should think, by the way I have remembered it, that the penknife I won in my first school race seemed to bring me the most glory.’ Wife (a little disappointed) : * Well, after that ?’ Fred: ‘ After that, my first championship.’ Wife (desperate) : ‘ How about when you won me, Fred ?’ Fred : ‘ Oh, a fellow never thinks so much of a prize that is won in a “ walk over.” ’
