An Optimist.
"I have just completed a fortnight's tour on a tandem, and can recommend this form of a holiday as the best I know of.... One Sunday in June, without exaggeration, I was nearly killed twice, and my wife was overcome with fright."—C.T.C. Gazette.
"In a competition at Claygate, Surrey, three children caught 182 green wasps."—Daily Paper.
It is believed that they would not have been caught if they had not been green.
From a recent Admiralty Order:—
"Approval has been given for frocks to be issued to N.C. Officers and men (Royal Marines) during the current year, for walking out purposes only."
It is believed that His Majesty's Jollies have received the order without enthusiasm, on the ground that no mention is made of anything being inside the frocks.
