Gentleman:—“Don’t you drink water?”
Student:—“Never; I tried it once, and almost drowned.”
Two Alike
Among students. “What a spendthrift that Spund is! Day before yesterday was the ‘First,’ and when I wanted to borrow from him to-day, he hadn’t a pfennig.”
Ridiculous Idea
Father (to his son, an extravagant student):—“What? You want to start a coin collection? That looks to me about as funny as it would if our poodle started a sausage collection!”
Double Dodging
1st Student:—“Where do you have your clothes made, Spund?”
2d Student:—“Meyer and Strauss.”
1st Student:—“I should never get a double firm to work for me. Instead of having to dodge only one creditor, you have to dodge two.”
