He Meant Well, but

Distinguished Out-Of-Town Guest (speaking at banquet)—Your beautiful little city appeals to me. As we came iu on the train I remarked to my wife: “Ah, my dear; you and I ought to be living on the top of one of those magnificent hills.” Toastmaster (in hoarse whisper)— Go easy; we’ve got only two hills in town. The insane asylum is on one, and the sewage works on the other.
