Captors of the Giral tale a stormy island capture
Bryan Kilmartin tells how he and a native crew plus an American seized a gin ral on Arran island. They rowed out in a hooker, lashed the can on the gin rals, towed him to a cove, hid the prize, and toasted their success with rum from the captured vessel as coast guards watched. The tale ends with the aftermath and a punchline about a drinking spree.

Anecdotes From The Book Of Laughter And Oddities
A fragment from a midwestern periodical notes humorous Chinese anecdotes about a nervous man between two blacksmiths and a deceitful move plot.
