How We Do It
A witty political candidate, after making a speech in an agricultural district, announced that he would be glad to answer any question that might be put to him.
A voice from the audience: “You seem to know a lot about a farmer’s difficulties. May I ask you a question about a momentous one?”
“Certainly,” replied the candidate, nervously.
“How can you tell a bad egg?” went on the merciless voice.
The candidate waited until the laughter had died down, then replied, “If I had anything to tell a bad egg I think I should break it gently.”
He won the place.
