A YOUTH and his pretty girl friend went to a Saturday night concert. There were crowds of Scottish soldiers there.
Several ai them kept looking at the girl's scarf. At last one came over and asked, "Excuse me, lass, but could ye spare me a wee bit of yon scarf to put in me button-hole?"
Like a sport, she said, "Yes, cut a bit off." It caused so much merriment that all the others càme and cut bits off too.
The last of them picked up the tattered remains of the scarf and said, "Aye, I'll take this ower wi me for love, honour and duty."
Chins Up A SMALL evacuee from London, who is living with me, writes a housewife, has a remarkable gift for needing a good wash whenever he comes in, and a very hearty dislike of soap and water.
He came in recently, needing about the fourth wash of the day. Thoroughly exasperated, I said: "You are a hopeless case. I can only give you a lick and a promise now. I am just going out."
He looked up at me with an expression of relief, and said: "That's all right, lady. Never mind my ears and neck, but please wash under my chin, as I have to keep that one up."
