Wits Agreeing
WHEN Foote was one day lamenting his growing old, a pert young fellow
asked him what he would give to be as young as he. I would be
content, cried Foote, to be as foolish. Jerrold made a similar
reply to an empty-headed fellow who boasted of never being seasick.
Never! said Douglas; then I'd almost have your head with your
stomach.
