WIFE—"Yes, dear, and that isn't the best of it. I have actually got something that I am going to keep."—Life.
An old fellow who was noted through the town for his stuttering as well as for his shrewdness in making a bargain, stopped at a grocery and inquired:
"How m-m-many t-t-t-turkeys have you g-g-got?"
"Eight, sir," replied the grocer.
"T-t-t-tough or t-t-tender?"
"Some are tender and some tough," was the reply.
"I k-keep b-b-b-boarders," said the new customer. "P-pick out the four t-toughest t-t-turkeys, if you p-p-please."
The delighted grocer very willingly complied with the unusual request, and said in his politest tones:
"These are the tough ones, sir."
