Doctor (to a patient whose wife died six months before):—“You may live a good many years yet, if you are careful.”
Patient:—“That’s all right, Doctor, but just think of the reception my sainted wife will give me if I keep her waiting so long.”
Without Charm
“Well, Louise, as the wife of such a promising physician, you must lead a charming life!”
“Oh, yes! a very charming life, to sit all day long, muffled up to my eyes, in the waiting room, making believe I’m a patient!”
The Janus Statue at Munich
“Oh say, I like this statue!”
“So do I; just think of having two throats, and to be permitted to carry the door-key!”
