Reader—“Her dancing was as light as—
Plumber—“A gas escape.”
Reader—“And her charming smiles showed to view a perfect set of—
Bootmaker—“Black heels.”

The Lawyer
The party is divided into two rows, through which walks the lawyer. He asks a number of questions, and the answers may contain any words except “yes,” “no,” “white,” “black.”
The person to whom he puts his query does not reply, but the one immediately opposite does.
The lawyer exchanges places with the one who makes the first mistake.
