Too Many Hot-Cakes:
The Mess Sergeant, a generous old soul, who would just as
soon loan you his right eye as give you a second helping of hot
cakes, had been noticing that B, had been making away with most
of the cakes sent to his table. Stopping at his side the gener
ous Sergeant called his attention to the fact that he had kept an
account of the number B. had eaten.
B. was telling about it afterwards. "Don’t you know", he
growled, "That Mess Sergeant is getting stingier every day. This
morning at breakfast he asked me if I knew how many hot-cakes I
had eaten. I told him no, that I had not paid any particular atten
tion". "Well”, said he, "That last one was the twenty-fourth".
"And", added B., "It made me so mad I just got up from the table
and walked right out of the Mess Hall without my breakfast".
