The teacher of a primary class was trying to show the children the difference between the natural and man-made wonders, and was finding it hard.
"What," she asked, "do you think is the most wonderful thing man ever made?"
A little girl, whose parents were obviously harassed by the question of ways and means, replied as solemnly as the proverbial judge:
"A living for a family."
"Why don't you move into more comfortable quarters, old man?"
"I can't even pay the rent on this miserable hole."
"Well, since you don't pay rent, why not get something better?"
