Not a Toot Allowed.

An old lady very hard of hearing brought an ear-trumpet into church. The church officer not having seen an ear-trumpet before thought it was a musical instrument. He therefore kept a stern eye on the old lady. When the sermon commenced the old lady put the trumpet to her ear. The officer stepped to her side and said: “Now look here, ma'am, one toot on that bugle and out you go.”
