§ 178 The Mystery of Wednesday
A Broadway actor got carried away by the spirit of the prohibition times and remained carried away for several days. He came to himself in his own room without knowing exactly how he got there. A friend sat beside him.
“Hello,” he said, as he opened his eyes, “what day is this?”
“This,” said his friend, “is Thursday.”
The invalid thought it over a minute.
“What became of Wednesday?” he asked.
