  1. Three men were lying along the road one day, and a man came along and he said he would give a shilling to the laziest of them. The first man jumped up and said, "I am the laziest." The second man jumped up and said, "I am the laziest," The third man lay on the grass and said, "Put it in my pocket," and he got the shilling.
