The jests OF llelioyabulus were very
practical. He was fond Of inviting
people with Soine physical dcformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite Il doz-
en- hunchbackS or a score Of squirting
ladies or an equal number Of haldheads.
Once he put Il large number Of eXccs-
sively fat people. all very hungry, into
a small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat it
Another diversion Of which he was
fond was that Of placin. his guests on
air sofas. SO that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
1t Is said that Nero. the Roman en-
peror, liked to ''shy" nuts at the bald
heads OF the prHtors who sat below
during the performance at the thcatcr,
and they were expected to maintain
their b~aldheaded dignity and refrain
from ~"shying" them back at him.
At a rough estimate there are l,,uu..
OOO pairs OF gloves imported into this
country each year.
