Selby Supersnoop (1995)
“Come quickly!’ Mrs Trifle cried.
Dr Trifle came dashing into the study with Selby right behind him.
‘What is it, dear?’ the doctor asked. ‘A great discovery!’ Mrs Trifle said, holding up an old postcard. ‘I found this in the middle of that book about Canada. I suspect that your great, great, great-grandfather, Fred Trifle, wrote it to your great, great, great-grandmother, Matilda, before they were married.’ Dr Trifle held up the postcard and read it: September 15, 1857 Dear Matilda, T...he weather is here, wish you were beautiful. Ha, ha. Great joke, isn’t it? See you soon.
Love, Fred Dr Trifle looked puzzled as he re-read the card.
‘Yes, very interesting,’ he said, finally, ‘but that’s the oldest, corniest postcard joke in the world. Instead of writing, “The weather is beautiful, wish you were here,” he wrote “The weather is here, wish you were beautiful.” Get it?’ ‘Of course I get it,’ Mrs Trifle sighed. ‘You used to write it on every postcard you sent me before we were married, remember?’ ‘Did I?’ ‘You did.’ ‘Come to think of it, I did,’ the doctor chuckled.MoreLess
