A distinguished jurist once sat down to a course dinner. He had
been waited on by one servant during two courses. He had had the
soup. Another servant came to him and said, “Sir, shall I take
your order? Will you have some of the chicken soup?” “No, sir;
I have been served with chicken soup, but the chicken proved an
alibi.”--GEORGE M. PALMER.
