A Cheap Watch
A SAILOR went to a watchmaker, and presenting a small French watch to
him, demanded to know how much the repair of it would come to. The
watchmaker, after examining it, said, It will be more expense repairing
than its original cost.--I don't mind that, said the tar; I will
even give you double the original cost, for I gave a fellow a blow on
the head for it, and if you repair it, I will give you two.
