Page "humor" Paragraph 145
from
Brown Corpus
`` I'll try '', I said, and sat for a moment thinking.
`` Oh yes, the other day I reread some of Emerson's English Traits, and there was an anecdote about a group of English and Americans visiting Germany, more than a hundred years ago.
In the railway station at Berlin, a uniformed attendant was chanting, ' Foreigners this way!!
Foreigners this way '!!
One woman -- she could have been either English or American -- went up to him and said, ' But you are the foreigners ' ''.
I took a deep breath and an even deeper swallow of my drink, and said, `` I admit that going back to Ralph Waldo Emerson for humor is like going to a modern musical comedy for music and comedy ''.
