Stranger (on the lake):—“You had better row ashore, my man; the waves are getting very high; the boat might upset, and I should be lost!”
Boatman:—“You need not be afraid, sir; I am at home on the water. A stranger was drowned here only last week, but we found his body the very next day.”
Imported Air
“I am surprised that the air in this miserable town is so fine! I wonder how it is!”
“That comes from the quantity of Swiss cheese that’s consumed here!”
“Why, what has that to do with it?”
“Well, just think what immense quantities of Swiss air are imported yearly, in the pores of that cheese!”
A New Flavor
Guest:—“I had two portions of coffee for breakfast; how much?”
Waiter:—“Beg pardon, sir, did you have it with or without sunrise?”
