"Why, how?" asked his father.

At the Department Store
A man with a low voice had just completed his purchases in the
department store, says the "Brooklyn Eagle."
"What is the name?" asked the clerk.
"Jepson," replied the man.
"Chipson?"
"No, Jepson."
"Oh, yes, Jefferson."
"No, Jepson; J-e-p-s-o-n."
"Jepson?"
"That's it. You have it. Sixteen eighty-two----"
"Your first name; initial, please."
"Oh, K."
"O.K. Jepson."
"Excuse me, it isn't O. K. You did not understand me. I said 'Oh'."
"O. Jepson."
"No; rub out the O. and let the K. stand."
The clerk iooked annoyed. "Will you please give me your initials
again?"
"I said K."
"I beg your pardon, you said O. K. Perhaps you had better write it
yourself."
"I said 'Oh'----"
"Just now you said K."
"Allow me to finish what I started. I said 'Oh,' because I did not
understand what you were asking me. I did not mean that it was my
initial. My name is Kirby Jepson.
