Blowing A Nose
SIR WILLIAM CHERE had a very long nose, and was playing at backgammon
with old General Brown. During this time, Sir William, who was a
snuff-taker, was continually using his snuff-box. Observing him leaning
continually over the table, and being at the same time in a very bad
humor with the game, the general said, Sir William, blow your
nose!--Blow it yourself! said Sir William; 'tis as near you as
me!
