Very Strange.

Once upon a time there was a man named Watt, and he went to a telephons to talk to another man. And the other man said: "Who is this?” And the man replied: “Watt.” But the other man did not say “What?" and Watt did not say “Wat,” and the other man did not say “That is what I said,” and Watt did not say “What did you say?” and the other man did not say “That is what I said,” and Watt did not say “What did you say?” and the Other man did not say “What?” and Watt did not say "That’s right. Watt.” And they did not tear the telepbbae out by the roots. - Moral —Given every opportunity, some people will spoil a joke.—Baltimore American.
