Settling: an Argument
Settling: an Argument.
A kindly housewife gave one of her home-made puddings to a tramp who called at the house for food. An hour or so later he returned.
“Excuse me calling again, lady,” he commenced, “but would you kindly let me have the recipe for that pudding”
The housewife looked puzzled. “But why do you want it?” she asked.
“To settle an argument,” replied the tramp. “My mate says there's two cupfuls of cement in it, and I say there's three.”
