DOI Page / Citation link:https://doi.org/10.11588/diglit.17024#0006
Whit business has anybody to enjoy a laugh at my expense ?
“ Homoeopathic Cocoa,”—that's the stuff for me ; a little will
go a long way.
There's one thing I would give a trifle to see—a man made
of money.
Why even Nature is on my side—remember its mean tempe-
rature.
“ A Sovereign Remedy ” forsooth ! I think I would rather die
than go to such an expense.
Stable Talk.—How about the horse-power of a screw-
steamer ?
Men and Measures.—Each of the friends in Auld Lang
Syne engages to be his own pitit-stoup.
PUNCH'S
SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGREsS' OWN CHRISTMAS DINNER.
PUNCH’S PROVERBS.
A Pun is as good as a riddle to a stupid ass.
Slate loose is gone goose.
“ Gee wo!” makes the horse go. “ Mather way ! ” makes the
horse stay.
Slow and slack- gets the sack.
Matrimony. Better never than late.
Between two fires the breach is a post, of danger.
The cricket-ball slips through the butter-fingers.
Hit ine and I ’ll hit you.
Do what you oughtn’t, and come what must.
Everyone has his trade, as the undertaker said to the phy-
sician.
It is of no use trying to cobble horseshoes.
Every one to his liking, as the Frenchman said when he ate
his horse.
Good wine needs no brandy.
A new knife is sharper than an old saw.
He that is out of spirits should drink wine..
The man is not always a thief who steals a march.
Strong beer makes the head clear.
’Tis a good wind that blows nobody rheumatism.
’Tis a wise child that knows its New Latin Primer.
E-it your ham and save your bacon.
Beauty unadorned is tripe without onions.
No man crieth, “ Taters all cold ! ”
None but great musicians can do great shakes.
Chemical.—As the thief is to the dealer in marine stores, so
is the retort to the receiver.
No alchemy equal to saving, as
he scraped his cheese. . oJ\g- ${
