3099. Toast proposal

carview.php?tsp=

Harold told his best friend, Algernon, that there were to be no off-colour jokes in the wedding speech. Algernon was to be best man at Harold and Lizzy’s wedding and he had to propose a toast.

Did he take any notice? No. Algernon’s speech included three extremely rude jokes, at which only a few people sniggered. It was such a relief when the speech was finished.

That was fifty-two years ago. Algernon died yesterday. Harold read it in the paper.
