Voltaire’s Escape Route!
When Voltaire arrived in England in 1727 he found that feeling ran high against the French, and on the streets of London he was in great peril. One day during a walk a crowd of angry citizens shouted,
Kill him! Hang the Frenchman!
Voltaire stopped, faced the crowd and cried
English men you want to kill me because I am a Frenchman!
Am I not punished enough in not being an English man?
The crowd cheered wildly, and provide d him safe passage conduct back to his dwelling.

Paderewski and Shoe Shiner!
Paderewski (Polish Pianist, Composer and Politician)
When Paderewski was visiting Boston some years ago he was approached by a boot black who called Shine?
The great pianist looked at the youth whose face was streaked with grime and said,
No, my lad, but if you will wash your face I will give you a quarter.
Alright! Exclaimed the boy looking sharply at him. He ran to a nearby fountain where he made his ablutions
When he returned, Paderewski held out the quarter
The boy took it and then returned it gravely, saying, here Mister, you take it yourself and get your hair cut.

Daniel Webster tackled his Teacher!
When Daniel Webster was a boy in the District School, he was not noted for his tidiness. Finally, the teacher, in despair, told him if he appeared again with such dirty hands she would thrash him. He did appear in the same condition.
Daniel, she said, hold out your hand. Daniel spat on his palm, rubbed it on the seat of his trousers and held it out. The teacher surveyed it in disgust.
Daniel, she, if you can find another hand in this school that is dirtier than that, I will let you off.
Daniel promptly held out the other hand.

Who is the Idiot now?
De Wolf Hopper was calling down a speaking tube to the janitor of his apartment in New York. Mr Hopper, unable to get the information he desired finally blurted out
Say, is there a blithering idiot at the end of this tube?
The reply came quickly, not at this end sir.
