    Paul Delaney said to Joe Smith one day: Talking about Christmas makes me think that two years ago my wife gave me a book entitled "A perfect Gentleman.
    Last year she gave me one called Wild Animals I know."
    Smith: "my wife thinks of nothing but motoring and golf."
    Delaney: "well at least she's in the fashion.
    Smith: "yes but she's such a failure at both. In golf she hits nothing and in motoring she hits everything."
