A very punctilious officer,, who was a long way from the resources of civilization, sent one day for the sergeant and asked him how long it was since the men had changed their shirts.

“On the contrary, I have in the past cultivated some of the finest hang- overs of all time. But that was back in the bad old days before I'd heard of Rose's Lime Juice.”

"What on earth has Rose's got to do with hangovers 7"
