"Have you ever taken the oath? Do you know how to swear, my boy?"
Whereupon the lad responded: "Yes, sir. I am your caddie at the Chevy

PERPETUAL MOTION
Alderman Curran, of New York City, worked his way through Yale College. During his course he was kept very busy by the various jobs he did to help with his expenses. On graduation he went to New York, and was even busier than he had been in New Haven.
After some months of life in New York, a friend met him and said,
"Henry, what are you doing?"
"I have three jobs," replied Mr. Curran, "I am studying law, I am a newspaper reporter, and I am selling life insurance."
"How do you manage to get it all in?" said the friend.
"Oh," replied Mr Curran, "that's easy enough. They're only eight-hour jobs."
