An Uncertain Bargain
At the clinic of the University of Kiel, appeared some time ago, a stalwart countryman about forty years of age, who asked Professor N. to buy his skeleton. “But, my good man,” said he, looking him all over, “I am afraid we should have to wait a long time to come into possession of our own. What do you want the money for?”
“Well, sir, I wanted to emigrate to Australia with it,” replied the countryman.
