There was a meeting of the new teachers and the old. It was a sort of
love feast, reception or whatever you call it. Anyhow all the teachers
got together and pretended they didn't have a care in the world. After
the eats were et the symposiarch proposed a toast:
"Long Live Our Teachers!"
It was drunk enthusiastically. One of the new teachers was called on to
respond. He modestly accepted. His answer was:
"What On?"
TEACHER--"Now, Willie, where did you get that chewing gum? I want the
truth."
WILLIE--"You don't want the truth, teacher, an' I'd ruther not tell a
lie."
TEACHER--"How dare you say I don't want the truth! Tell me at once where
you got that chewing-gum."
