Volume 107 — Illogic in Liquor.

Reading edition

Mem. by a Muser.

How paradoxical the ways of Town! To "liquor up" means pouring liquor down. And "standing treat" means, with the bibulous band, "Treating" each other till they cannot stand!

Illustration from Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 107, September 8, 1894

"'E DUNNO OÙ IL EST!"

Passenger from London (as the Train runs into the Gare du Nord, Paris). "Oh—er—I say—er—Garsong! Kel ay le nomme du set plass?"
