He Didn't Read the Papers.

“The older I get,” said the retail butcher, “the less I read the dally papers. Too many distressing happenings are reported nowadays.” “Of course you have noticed that meats are all coming down.” said the customer. The butcher shook his head. “That's one of the distressing happenings I am particularly anxious to avoid,” he mournfully remarked. And the customer paid tbe same old price for bacon.
