AN OLD JOKE WORKED OVER
A school teacher recently gave his pupils a lecture on patriotism. He pointed out the high motives which moved the Territorials to leave their homes and fight for their country.
The school teacher noticed that one boy did not pay attention to the instruction, and as a test question he asked him:
“What motives took the Territorials to the war?”
The boy was puzzled for a moment, then, remembering the public “send-off” to the local regiment at the railway station, he replied:
“Locomotives, sir.”
