Pun

TEACHER: Thomas, can you tell me which battle Nelson was killed in?
      TOMMY (after a moment's reflection): I think it was his last.

COURTNEY: When you proposed to Miss Dexter did you get down on your knees?
      BARCLAY: No, I couldn't; she was sitting on them.

He used to send her roses;
He sent them every hour,
But now they're married and he sends
Her home a cauliflower.

At a West End hotel one of the party asked :
      "Have you got any celery, waiter?"
      "No, sir," was the significant answer; "I relies on me tips."
