Q. Why should a Mellor put on a "considering cap"?—A. To keep his head cool. Q. When is a "Chair" not a "Chair"?—A. When it is "sat upon." Q. When does the Closure a Premier surprise?—A. When he finds the "Noes" above the "Ayes." Q. Where was Peel when he put the Sexton out?—A. In a passion. Q. Why does an angry Party "cross" the House?—A. To get on the other side.
