“But you said that you had been an inmate of a prison for twenty years?”
“I’m the warden of the prison.”
NO MORE DUNNING.
The landlady of a certain medical student, who ineffectually dunned her delinquent tenant for some time, resolved at last upon resorting to extreme measures.
She entered his room one morning, and said, in a very decided tone:
“You must either pay me my rent, or be off this very day.”
“I prefer to be off,” said the student, who, on his side, was prepared for the encounter.
“Well, then, sir, pack up directly.”
“I assure you, madame, I will go with the utmost speed, if you will assist me.”
“With the greatest of pleasure.”
