A cobbler and a man with a walking stick in conversation. The cobbler says, "What do you say Neighbour – Five Men to be hung this morning!! well I should like to go to be sure, but I must stick to Business." The other man responds, "Aye Aye Friend Snob – you are always at work – never have time to take a little pleasure!!"
