Two friends met in the Strand the morning after an airplane raid.
"Any damage done your way?" the first asked.
"Damage! Rather!" answered the other. "Father and mother were blown clean out of the window. The neighbors say it's the first time they've been seen to leave the house together in seventeen years."

DREAMS
"Mother, wasn't that a funny dream I had last night?" said a little boy who was busily engaged with his breakfast cereal.
"Why, I'm sure I don't know!" replied his mother. "I haven't the slightest idea what your dream was about."
"Why, mother, of course you know!" said the boy reproachfully. "You were in it."
