WHICH ONE?
From somewhere in England comes the story of two rather elderly Home Guards who were marching abreast, followed by their new corporal. “Now then,” snapped the corporal, very conscious of his two stripes, “one of you is out of step!” “Aye, aye,” replied one of the men, “but I’m sure you don’t know which one!”
The colonel of a battalion billeted in the country was invited to the neighbouring farm for lunch. He astounded the farmer by eating two small roasted fowls. Later, while walking in the farmyard, he noticed a cock strutting about and remarked, “By gad! That’s a proud bird.” / “So he should be,” answered the farmer. “He has two sons in the army now.” ; , * * * There appears to be a lot of glass distinction in our pubs now. >
