Port.—­Like well-baked bread, best when crusty; flies out of glass because of the “bee’s wing.”  Always happy to become a porter on such occasions; object to general breakages, but partial to the cracking of a bottle; comes from a good “cellar” and a good buyer, though no wish to be a good-bye-er to it.  All the above with beautiful leading cues, and really with two or three rehearsals the very best things ever done.

Sherry.—­“Do you sherry?” “Not just yet.”  “Rather unlucky, white whining:  like a bottle of port; but no objection to share he.  Hope never to be out of the Pale of do.; if so, will submit to be done Brown.”

N.B.—­After an election dinner, any of the above valued at a six weeks’ invitation from any voter under the influence of his third bottle; and absolute reversion of the chair, when original chairman disappears under table.

Champagne.—­Real pleasure (quite new—­never thought of before)—­must be Wright’s; nothing left about it; intoxicating portion of a bird, getting drunk with pheasant’s eye.  What gender’s wine? Why hen’s feminine.  Safe three rounds; and some others not quite compact.

Hock.—­Hic, hec, do.

Hugeous.—­Glass by all means (very new); never could decline it, &c. &c. &c.

Dessert.—­Wish every one had it; join hands with ladies’ fingers and bishops’ thumbs:  Prince Albert and Queen very choice “Windsor pairs;” medlars; unpleasant neighbour:  nuts; decidedly lunatic, sure to be cracked; disbanding Field Officers shelling out the kernels, &c. &c. &c.

The above are but a few samples from the very extensive joke manufactory of Messrs. Gammon and Gag, sole patentees of the powerful and prolific steam-joke double-action press.  They are all warranted of the very best quality, and last date.

Old jokes taken in exchange—­of course allowing a liberal per-centage.

Gentlemen’s own materials made up in the most superior style, and at the very shortest notice.

Election squibs going off—­a decided sacrifice of splendid talent.

Ideas convertible in cons., puns, and epigrams, always on hand.

Laughs taught in six lessons.

A treatise on leading subjects for experienced jokers just completed.

A large volume of choice sells will be put up by Mr. George Robins on the 1st of April next, unless previously disposed of by private contract.

N.B.—­Well worthy the attention of sporting and other punsters.

Also a choice cachinatory chronicle, entitled “How to Laugh, and what to
Laugh at.”

For further particulars apply to Messrs. Gag and Gammon, new and second-hand depot for gentlemen’s left-off facetiae, Monmouth-street; and at their West-end establishment, opposite the Black Doll, and next door to Mr. Catnach, Seven-dials.
