Didn't Care for Any, Thanks!

A lawyer of this city who gets fish hungry about a week dropped Into a restaurant the other day to discuss a finny dish. “What have you got In the way of fish to-day?” he inquired of the waiter. “Snappcrback, sir,” was the reply. “I’ve never heard of that kind of fish before,” Bald the attorney, “but I’ll Just try some to see how it goes.” The snappcrback proved to be nothing but a common mudcat about the size of a minnow, and the disappointed man, casting one glance on the unsavory article, Bboved It from him and exclaimed to the sheepish-looking waiter: “You Just snap her back and bring me a codfish ball.”—Memphis Scimitar.
