Forgetful Vacationist.

The family had gone off for their holiday in a taxi. Twenty minutes later the taxi snorted back up the road. “Forgotten the tickets?” cried a neighbor. “No,” said the irate householder, “but my wife’s just remembered that she’s left a kettle boiling on the gas stove.” He dived into the house, and came back the next moment wi|h a ghastly calm on his face. “All right now?” said the neighbor cheerily. ~ "Right! I’d forgotten that I’d turned the gas off at the meter—and now we’ve two hours and a half to wait for the next train."
