"Do you write to instruct or to amuse?"
"It is possible to combine both."
"Can you give me an example?"
"Yes, this afternoon's experience in Court."
"Wonderful as that may have been, Mr. Bore, I suggest you have not written it."
His Lordship (facetiously). "Give him a chance, he may." (Laughter in Court.)
"Of course," suggested Counsel, "you always enjoy reading your own articles in the papers."
"Oh dear no. I am only concerned with writing them."
"But I suggest you read them before you send them in."
"Never; the Editor saves me the trouble."
