"It ain't swearin' to say it, is it Gramma?"
"Don't say 'ain't', Willie. No, it isn't swearing to say Rotterdam. Why?"

PHYSIOLOGY
The teacher explained to her young pupils some facts concerning various organs of the body, including the eye as the organ of sight, the ear as the organ of hearing, and the like. Then she asked the pupils to repeat to her what they had learned. There was a short silence, which was broken by a bright little boy, who spoke as follows:
"I see with my eye organ, I hear with my ear organ, I smell with my nose organ, I eat with my mouth organ, and I feel with my hand organ."

"You seem to have had a good many situations," was the lady's comment as the girl paused. "How many different mistresses have you had, all told?"
"Fifteen, all told," the maid declared promptly; "yes mum, all told eggzactly what I thought of them."
