Applied Logic.

One of the clerks at the Washington weather bureau recently took unto himself a wife and it has been his endeavor to interest her in his work at the office. The other evening on coming home he said: “It was a terrible storm that swept through Jersey. The wind blew 60 miles an hour for 30 minutes.” i “Well, dearie,” said the wife, anxious to show an intelligent interest in the matter, “it’s lucky isn’t it, that it blew only half an hour?” “Why?” “Weil, 30 miles isn’t nearly so bad.”
