HEARD THIS ONE?
THE yarn is told that Scotty and
Paddy were two bosom friends,
who toiled together years ago in a
Government department. Paddy pos-
sessed his share of native wit, and
was seldom the worse for any prac-
tical joke worked on him.
A rule of the office was that
any unusual happening to the staff,
such as lateness, illness, or acci-
dent, was to be logged in the at-
tendance book. One morning
Paddy noticed in Scotty's hand-
writing that he was logged,
"Murphy drunk." Paddy smiled
all that day, but said not a word.
The next morning there appeared
in Paddy's handwritinfi, opposite
Scotty's name, "M'Tavish sober."
