A collection of jokes and anecdotes from a late era features a classroom exchange on presidential ambition, insomnia complaints, sarcasm about clothing prices, family critiques of church music, a golf caddy’s blunt quip, a landlady’s clever debt collection, and a new bride’s boast about her first dinner.
A humorous exchange notes nature's push to work and the paradox of aging with less hair yet more face to wash. The quip frames daily routines with light wry wit.
A Scotch barrister who felt a church call entered the ministry and rose to a church appointment. While greeting a parishioner, he admitted a past income of 3,000 pounds a year as a barrister. The parishioner asked simply what he earns now.
A Houston Post reflection extols travel as refreshment for the mind and spirit. It praises scenery and new experiences but elevates the joy of finding a familiar welcoming face from home among strangers as the finest sight.
