“She called me a coward and dared me to come out from under the bed.”
Two Ends
God has given us two ends
With a common link.
With the one, we sit.
With the other, we think.
Success in life depends
On which we choose:
Heads, you win.
Tails, you lose.
19th-Century Nonsense
A Scarcity of Asses
The Rev. Mr. Thomas, riding home on a particular occasion, came upon two members of his parish who had recently been made justices of the peace.
The parishioners, seeing the minister atop a fine steed, decided to tease him by saying: “Well, Mr. Thomas, you are very unlike your Master, for He was content to ride upon an ass.”
“An ass?” exclaimed the minister. “Why, there’s no such beast to be gotten nowadays.”
“Aye, how’s that?”
“Because they now make them justices of the peace.”
