Joke of Today
How to get a seat by the fire
Mr. Brown came to an inn on a very cold day, and could get no room near the fire.
He called to the hostler to fetch a peck of oysters, and give them to his horse.
"Will your horse eat oysters?" said the hostler.
"Try him, " said Mr. Brown.
Immediately the people ran to see this wonder, and Mr. Brown who alone
remained in the room, chose the best seat by the fire and made himself
comfortable.
