When in this country on a mission during World War I Marshal Foch was button holed by a noisy Westerner who launched into a tirade against French politeness

“There is nothing in it but wind,” he sneered.

“There is nothing but wind in a tire, politely countered Marshal, but it makes riding in a car very smooth and pleasant”.

Black Salute

A governor of Virginia, being saluted by a Negro, immediately returned the compliment.

“Can you demean yourself so far, said a slaveholder, as to raise your hat to a negro?”

“Undoubtedly, said the governor. I should be sorry for him to exceed me in politeness.”

Head on Collision

It happens to everybody sometime or other. The man and the woman were hastening down the street in opposite directions. They met head on, both veered abruptly to one side, and then to the other confronting each other in a vain effort to untangle themselves and pass. When the difficulty was at last solved, the man tipped his hat and said

Good bye, it is nice to have known you.

I can’t lie thrice!

Expressing himself somewhat bitterly on the subject of story tellers who persistently interrupt themselves to ask if one has heard the story, Mark Twain told of an encounter with Henry Irwing. The actor asked him if he had heard a certain story and Twain politely said No.

Irwing proceeded and later made the same query. Proceeding almost to the climax of his story, Irwing again asked if he heard it.

Twain said, I can lie once, I can lie twice for courtesy’s sake, but I draw the line there. I can’t lie the third time at any price. I not only heard the story, I invented it.
