Re: Interesting Anecdotes from the Past
His last Joke
A celebrated English physician, who was also a distinguished humorist, when about to die, requested that none of his friends be invited to his funeral.
A friend inquired the reason of this remarkable request.
“Because,” sighed the dying but polite humorist, “it is a courtesy which can never be returned.”
Charles Matthews, the celebrated comedian, who died in 1837, put the above entirely in the shade by his last joke.
