- A young man went to spend a holiday with some friends in Yorkshire. He caught a chill while travelling, and was confined to bed. His hostess thought she would give her visitor a treat during his confinement. She baked a Yorkshire pudding and took it upstairs.
"Just try this", she said. "It'll shift your cold." Going up some time later, she said "Well, have you eaten it all up?" "Eaten it?" gasped the visitor, "why I thought it was a poultice to wear on my chest".
