[Captain Billy's Whiz Bang] Gus's Idea of Loyalty A newly-hired clerk of an irascible employer one Saturday night desired very much to go to a lodge meeting, but was rather timid about ask- ing for a few hours leave. Shortly after the boss left for the night, an obliging fellow clerk sug- gested that now was his opportunity; he would take care of his work. The clerk departed. Half an hour later he was back, extremely agitated. “I went around to the house to change my clothes, and was about to step in, when looking through the window I saw my wife sitting on the boss’s lap.” “What did you do?” asked his co-worker. “I came away as fast as I could. He almost saw me.” What a Taxidriver Overhears “What are you kicking about? It’s only one kiss, but I’m trying to take it in instalments.” “Will you, please, stop asking me when we’re going to get married. You can spoil the most beautiful moments.” “Oh, honey, you’re whiskers are so sharp. You have just about ruined my face. I never have had such a rough chap on my cheeks in all my life.” =[44]=
