    Some years ago there was a man working for a miserly old lady who gave him very stingy meals. One day she give him a very small amount of meat with a big plate of soup. When the man came into his dinner he noticed the small piece of meat in the centre of the soup. The woman went out for a while and when she came back he was undressing. Seeing this she said "oh what is the matter James" and he replied "Begor mam I was thinking of swimming in for the meat".
