Jiu-Jitsu No Use.

A cricket club formed a gymnasium for the use of the members during the winter months, and an instructor was engaged to teach jiu-jitsu. Recently one of the cricketers turned up with a bandaged head and said some youth had inflicted the Injury. “What!" exclaimed the jiu-jitsu instructor. "You mean to say you let a youth knock you about like that? Why didn't you try jiu-jitsu?" "I couldn’t” “Nonsense! There’s no conceivable situation to which jiu-jitsu cannot be successfully applied. Show me where be gripped you.” “I’m sorry to say be didn't grip me anywhere. He dropped a brick on my bead from a third floor window." —TitBits.
