MORE SURFACE TO COVER
The people of Luxemburg are not wanting in a sense of humor. One day an officer of the Prussian Guard entered a barber shop and had a shave. Whereupon he tendered to the barber a twopenny piece.
“Excuse me, sir,” said the barber, “but it’s threepence now.”
“Why threepence?” asked the Kaiser’s Guardsman. “In August last you only charged me twopence.”
“That’s true enough,” was the barber’s reply; “but since the Battle of the Marne your face has grown much longer.”
