- A voluble Frenchman was giving evidence in an important law case, and the reporters were having a difficult time. The more they exerted themselves, the faster he went.
They had almost reached the point of exhaustion, when he turned to them and shouted. “Not so fast ! not so fast !” Don’t write so fast ! “How do you think I can keep up with you.” - He hailed a cab and fell into the back seat
“Say, driver”. he ordered, “Drive me round the square a hundred times”.
The driver was startled, but obliged just the same. Round and round the square they went, and on the sixty-fifth trip the passenger leaned forward and shouted with a hiccough
“Step on it driver”,
I’m in a hurry”
