Satisfactory Results
An Irish soldier in France dur- ing the 1914-18 war received a letter from his wife saying there. wasn't an able-bodied man left, and she was going to dig the garden herself.
Pat wrote at the beginning of his next letter: "Bridget, please don't dig the garden; that's where the guns are."
The letter was duly censored, and in a short time a lorry-load of men in khaki arrived at Pat's house and proceed to dig the gar- den from end to end.
Bridget wrote to Pat in de speration, saying that she didn't know what to do as the soldiers had got the garden dug up, every bit of it.
Pat's reply was short and to the point: "Put in the spuds."--- Tit-Bits.

A gentleman was walking down the street with his little boy at his side when the youngster cried out, "Oh, Pa! There goes an
