Show Unreasonable Hubby. In the olden times a woman in the north of Scotland went to visit her husband, who was condemned to be hanged on the following day. The doomed man began to give his instructions instruc-tions to his wife preparatory to bidding bid-ding her farewell, when she broke in upon the conversation and exclaimed: ex-claimed: "By the by. John, whaur will I plant the tatties this year?" The unfortunate man, indignant at the indifference of his wife, exclaimed, ex-claimed, angrily: "What need I care whaur ye plant them? I'm not likely tn need any o' them." "Hech," replied, the woman, turning to the warden with a wag of her head, "oour John's huffed because he's gaunt to be hanged the morn," and marched out of the cell. |
