Show FUNNY SIDE OF WET WEATHER Elements the Occasion of More Humor and Ill-Humor Than Any Other Earthly Institution. The weather, more especially our British variety, has probably been the occasion of more humor and Ill-humor than any other earthly Institution, London Tit-Eits says. "What you need." once remarked a doctor to his patient, "Is a change of elmute." "Change of climate!" cried the man. "That's what's the matter with me. If the climate would only keep the same a few days running I would be all right !" The mutability of the weather reminds re-minds one of the indignant customer who returned to the shopkeeper, saying: say-ing: "Look here, that barometer you sold me a month ago has got out of order. It won't work." "Xo wonder, sir," replied the shopkeeper, "look what a lot of weather It's 'ad lately!" There is nothing to beat the story of the American tourist who come across a man out West sitting on a stump. "How's the weather treating you?" he was asked. "Pretty tolerable toler-able stranger." replied the man. "I had some trees to cut down, but a cyclone cy-clone came along and leveled them for me." "That was a piece of luck," cried the tourist. "Yes ; and then." continued the man, "there was a storm, and the lightning set Are to the brushwood and saved me the trouble of burning it." "Remarkable !, But what are you doing now?" "Oh, I'm .Inst waiting for an earthquake to come along and shake the potatoes out of the ground." I Once an old weather prophet at i Whiitingehame informed Jlr. Balfour . that "It's gaun to rain seventy-tv.a days, sir." -'Come, co-ne !" said the statesman. "Surely the world was entirely en-tirely flooded in forty days?" "Aye. 1 aye." was the response, "but the world v.asna' sue weel drained as it is noo." |
