A PERENNIAL MYSTERY.
Average Man: “These papers just make me siek. Nothing in them but commonplace personal items about a lot of nobodies no one ever heard of.” Friend: “I saw a little mention of you in the Friday ‘Gammon.’”
Average Alan (half an hour later, to messenger boy) : “Here, rush around to the ‘Gammon’ office, and get me forty; Copies of the Friday edition."
The Minister: In the next world, Tommy, the last shall be first. Tommy: Say, won’t I shine when the minister comes to supper at our house up there!
Friend: So your great Russian actor was a total failure? Alanager: Yes. It took all our profits !to pay for running the electric-light sign with his name on it.
