Making Free
Jests Home
FORMERLY, members of parliament had the privilege of franking letters
sent by post. When this was so, a sender on one occasion applied to the
post-office to know why some of his franked letters had been charged.
He was told that the name on the letter did not appear to be in his
handwriting. It was not, he replied, precisely the same; but the
truth is, I happened to be a little tipsy when I franked
them.--Then, sir, will you be so good in future as to write drunk
when you make free?
