One of his Jokes by Artemus Ward in New York to California
Artemus Ward relaxed with a cigar when a San Francisco telegram asking for ten nights in California arrived. He answered in three words, Brandy and water A Ward, and soon became the headline act in California. The $10 joke was printed in San Francisco papers and drew wide laughter.
