Losing a Collar Button.

Husband—My dear, have you seen anything of my collar button ? Wife—Did you lose it? Husband (sarcastically)—Did I lose it ? If I hadn’t lost it I wouldn’t ask you if you had seen anything of it, would I? Wife (nervously looking about) — Well, don’t you know where you lost it ? Husband (jumping up and down with rage)—Don’t I know where I lost it ? Oh, yes, certainly; a man would be a fool to lose a collar button and not know exactly where he lost it. I dropped it not five minutes ago up in the northern part of British America. That's where I lost the fool collar button, madam.— New York Mail and Express.
