The One That Chose To Pay

Three men had been out on a spree, and on the way home late at night they made a wager that the one who did not do as his wife told him should pay for a champagne supper the following night.

The first one returned home, and his wife greeted him thus: "Hello, you beauty! That's right, knock all the ornaments off the mantelpiece!"

He knocked them all off.

The second returned and on going into his house fell against the piano, whereupon his wife said:

"Go on; get a chopper and smash it up!"

He did so.

The third returned, and on going up stairs his wife said:

"You miserable scamp, fall down stairs and break your neck!"

Needless to say, he paid for the supper.—London Spare Moments.
