WHAT HE WANTED
' What I want,' declared a gentleman to an applicant for a situation, 'is a man who can cook, drive a motor, and look- after a pair of horses, clean boots and windows, feed the poultry and milk a cow, and do a bit of painting and paper-hanging.' ' What kind of soil 'aye you got 'ereabouts, sir?' asked the applicant. ' Soil ! What's that got to do with it ?' ' I thought perhaps if the soil was clay I could make bricks in my spare time.'
