"The following is a specimen of my punning _before_ taking six
lessons of Mr. T. Hood:--
"Q. Why is a fresh-plucked carnation like a certain _cold_ with which
children are affected?
"A. Because it's _a new pink off_ (an hooping-cough).
"This is a specimen of my punning _after_ taking six lessons of Mr.
T. Hood:--
"Q. Why is the difference between pardoning and thinking no more of an
injury the same as that between a selfish and a generous man?
"A. Because the one is _for-getting_ and the other
_for-giving_."
N.B. Gentlemen who live by their wits, and diners-out in particular, will
find Mr. T. Hood's system of incalculable service.
Mr. H. has just completed a large assortment of jokes, which will be
suitable for all occurrences of the table, whether dinner or tea. He has
also a few second-hand _bon mots_ which he can offer a bargain.
