The Graphic FUNNY LEAF
Mr Gauzewing: “I understand that Miss Moth has announced her engagenent to Willie Firefly.” Mr Fuzzbuzz: ‘‘Yes; another case of the moth and the flame.”
Minister: Do you take this man for better or worse, till death parts you? Bride —1 should prefer an indeterminate sentence, I think.
APPROPRIATE. “Jessie’s fiance proposed to her in a cab.” “I would call that a hansom offer.” FATAL. “Poor Perkins has gone broke.” “Why, what did it?” “He took money matters out of his wife’s hands and ran the house on business principles for twto weeks.”
Beggar (on receiving sixpence) : God bless yer honour! The saints preserve ye! May the heavens be yer bed! Benevolent, but Modest, Old Gentleman: Not at all—not at all!—“Punch.”
AS THEY SAY ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.
