Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 106, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 September 1899 — Extinguished. [ARTICLE]

Extinguished.

A young and newly-married couple were entertaining their friends, and among the guests was one whose continued rudeness made him extremely dbjectionable to the rest of the company. His conduct, although most unbearable, was put up with for some time, until at supper he held up on his fork a piece of meat which had been served to him, and in a vein of intended humor, he looked round and remarked: “Is this pig?” This immediately drew forth the remark from a quiet-looking individual sitting at the other end of the table: “Which end of the fork do you refer to?”—London Spare Moments.
