JUST ANSWERED
A soldier in the English Army wrote home: "They put me in barracks; they took away my clothes and put me in khaki; they took away my name and made me 'No. 575'; they took me to church, where I'd never been before, and they made me listen to a sermon for forty minutes. Then the parson said: 'No. 575. Art thou weary, art thou languid?' and I got seven days in the guardhouse because I answered that I certainly was."
TOO LONG A SHOT
A famous jockey was taken suddenly ill, and the trainer advised him to visit a doctor in the town.
"He'll put you right in a jiffy," he said.
The same evening he found Benjamin lying curled up in the stables, kicking his legs about in agony.
"Hello, Benny! Haven't you been to the doctor?"
"Yes."
"Well, didn't he do you any good?"
