Sandy Macpherson went into a restaurant and asked for a hard-boiled egg. After cracking the top he looked doubtfully at the contents. “I doot,” said he, “the hen that laid that egg hasna’ been week” “Hasn’t it been boiled long enougn?” asked the waiter. “Oh, no,” replied Sandy; “it’s no that it hasna’ been boiled long enough, but it hasna’ been boiled soon enough.”
