A London taxi-driver, putting on a spurt to reach a railway at a certain time ran down a eart, upsetting the contents. A police constable, confronting the taxi-driver, demanded his name.

T.D.: “Cork.”

P.C.: “And so do I. Now just stand there a moment while I go over and charge this man with backing into ye.”
