Scotch Thrift
Sandy, the office manager, approached Annie, the stenographer, for
another loan of $10. It was a weekly occurrence and always had been
granted.
“Well, Miss Laurie, here I am again to borrow the usual ten spot,” he
said. “Funny isn’t it? Here I am making three times as much money as you,
and yet I have to borrow from you every week. You always have money on
hand, and I feel ashamed to ask you for another loan.”
“Oh, that’s all right,” replied Annie, “I haven’t as much money as you
think, but I have borrowed from the boss and always manage to hoard a
little bit.”
“The deuce you do!” exclaimed Sandy. “That’s what I have been doing with
your ten spots.”

Who wore the most wonderful hose
They set the men staring
But she wasn’t caring
For that’s why she wore ’em, I s’pose.
