Here is an instance Of good repartee.
They were two solid citizens. One was
bald, but rejoiced in fine luxuriant
beard. The other had q heavy growth
of hair on the head, but was very bald
as to his chin. The bald-chinned
citizen was q very talkative individual,
whose conversation was rapid and in
cessant. Meeting the bald-headed
citizen one day in q company Of gentle
men, he opened fire on him touching
the baroness of his sconce. What do
you suppose" said he, in his rafting,
vivacious way, what do you suppose,
neighbor, is tine reason that you have
no hair on your head, and so much on
your chimp 'Weh," said the other,
very deliberately, scientists say that
men who work with their brains create
such a heat in the scalp that the hair is
worn off," THAT sounds like q likely
theory" chimed in the loquacious
citizen. "Yes. it Does" returned the
other. land / think your case is strik.
Ing illustration of its probability. Now
: you have plenty Of hair on your head,
but none on your chin. which just
backs up the scientific theory, because
all your work Is done with your jaws
