Story 226
Don’t Skof
At the mention of work, the lazy boy oft, would skof, un- less
the work was very soft.
One day he started to hic-cough. So he went to the water “
trough,” and began to qwaf. His boss, ticked off, thinking that he
was likely goofing off, said, “That’s once too oft !” And
discharged him right off.
Change: Scoff to skof and quaff to qwaf.
Story 227
In the Loft
On a choice toft on a small croft, there lived an Englishman
who oft, slept aloft in a hayloft.
He preferred the loft, despite how he coughed, which had
his wife think that his head was “ soft.” But in truth, had
she known of the liquor he kwaffed, she would have done
more than skof.
Change: quaffed to kwaffed and scoff to skof.
