Counted Everything Twice
Guest (to his host):—“Look here, Herr Ochsenwirth, my bill cannot possibly be so much. There must be a mistake.”
Host:—“Not possible, sir, since I counted everything twice.”
She Struck It
Tourist (to a farmer’s wife):—“Well, my good woman, where is your husband to-day? Isn’t he at home?”
“No, he’s up on the Alps.”
“Aren’t you afraid to be all alone?”
“Goodness no! I am always glad when he is gone, then I have some peace!”
“But, my dear woman, you ought not to say that! Man and wife belong together. I am always glad when my wife is at home.”
