Show Least of Two Evils. An employee in the oilice of a noisy munition plant was absent from work one morning. After luncheon, however, how-ever, he presented himself. He looked pretty bad, but he claimed that he was ready for work. "Why, what are you doing down here?" cried the boss. "Your wife telephoned tel-ephoned that you probably wouldn't be able to work for several days. She said you were on the verge of nervous nerv-ous prostration, and that the least noise was bad for you. Why didn't you stay at home?" "Well," answered the wage slave, raising his voice to be heard above the distracting din. "I did get through with the morning at home. But my wife had a bridge party this afternoon, so I thought I'd be better off down here." |
