"Where is the shopping bag?"

"I haven't got one, use your hat."

I Want Her to Go Nuts

Mrs. Flinders decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets and a ruby pen-dant."

"I know," said Mrs. Flinders," It's in case I should die before my husband. I'm sure he'd remarry right a-way, and I want her to go nuts looking for the jewelry."
