§ 284 God Save the King’s English!
A London firm received from a merchant in Porto Rico a letter which, properly framed, now hangs on the walls of the home office—proof in denial of the ancient libel that the English don’t know a joke when they see it.
The letter read as follows:
“Why, for God’s sake, you send me pump without handle? My customer hollar like hell for water.
“P. S.—Since writing I find the dam handle in the box.”
