Doctor mind

A young mother, paying a visit to her doctor, made no attempt to restrain her five-year-old son, who was ransacking an adjoining room. But, finally, an extra- loud clatter of bottles did prompt her to say, “I hope, Doctor, you don’t mind billy being in there.”

“No,” said the Doctor calmly. “He’ll be quiet in moment when he gets to poisons.”

House decorated

The householder was very much pleased with the way the painter had improved his house. “You did a wonderful job, ” he told the painter, “and I am giving you a little extra for yourself. Take the missus to a show.”

The next evening the bell rang and the painter stood at the door dressed in his finest.

“Yes ? What is it ?” the man asked. “Did you forget something ?” “No”, answered the painter, Just came to take the missus to a show.”
