Show The Man With the Conundrum Again. "Here's one you can use any time you like," says the man with the glittering glit-tering whiskers, beaming over the desk of the pale, plodding slave with the recalcitrant fountain pen. "I figured fig-ured this out last night. What is the difference between an army officer who has been on a furlough for six weeks and has received an order to return to duty and a physical investigator who reads 'The Raven' to the spirit of his departed ancestor?" "What is the difference between a manMn an air ship and a woman making mak-ing mincemeat? Because they both look for currents," mutters the pale, plodding slave. "Oh, well, if you don't care for any suggestions I can take them elsewhere," else-where," haughtily declares the man wun tne glittering wmskers. "The answer an-swer to mine is that one reads his 'Go to the post' and the other reads his Poe to the ghost, but you can't use it now." |
