Customer: "You have a sign in your window, 'A suit of clothes made while you wait.' Do you really do that?"

Tailor: "Yes, sir. You leave your order, with a deposit, and then go home and wait till the garments are finished."


"Mother, may I go out to wheel?"
"Yes, my darling daughter;

Although I think you oughter."


Lady—What! You here again? I don't believe you have done a thing all Summer.

Tramp—You do me an injustice, mum. I jist finished doin' thirty days.
