    A long time since I have pleasurably and audibly groaned on a late night train (1994, London to Birmingham, with a little encouragement from the then squeeze, if memory serves) so thanks for that!

    “Two weevils crept from the crumbs. 'You see those weevils, Stephen?' said Jack solemnly.

    I do.'

    Which would you choose?'

    There is not a scrap of difference. Arcades ambo. They are the same species of curculio, and there is nothing to choose between them.'

    But suppose you had to choose?'

    Then I should choose the right-hand weevil; it has a perceptible advantage in both length and breadth.'

    There I have you,' cried Jack. 'You are bit - you are completely dished. Don't you know that in the Navy you must always choose the lesser of two weevils? Oh ha, ha, ha, ha!”

    “This short watch that is about to come, or rather these two short watches--why are they called dog watches? Where, heu, heu, is the canine connection?'

    Why,' said Stephen, 'it is because they are curtailed of course.”
