Idiot at the Breakfast Table.
“I hope you are with ouf table,” Mr. Idiot,” said the landlady. “In the main, yes,” replied the idiot. “But I really think I ought to register a complaint against yesterday’s fishballs, madam.” “Why, I’m sorry about that,” said the landlady, blushing. “We rather pride ourselves on our fishballs. What was the matter with them, sir?” “Mine had a distinctly fishy taste.” returned the Idiot.—Harper’s Weekly.
