Took the Tall End.

The Lancashire people are fond of dogs—in fact, they're very proud of them, and, therefore, when a prominent dog fancier came home one night and found his son had bought a nondescript mongrel he was- rather riled. “How much didst thee gie for that dog?” he inquired. “Five shillings,” replied the Bon. "Tell thee what AH do,” replied the parent “A’ll go shares wl’ thee. A’ll gie thee half a crown for ma share.” The half crown was duly paid; then the father remarked: “A’ll tak’ t’ tall end, and A’m goln’ to kick my half outen t’ door!" And he did. —London Tit-Bits.
