GRIN AND BEAR IT 



A recent visitor to the Department of Vertebrate Palaeontology. 



The sergeant was having a bad time with a squad of recruits on the 

 rifle-range. He had tried them on the oOO-yard range, but none of them 

 could score a hit. Then he tried them in turn on the 300-yard, 200-yard 

 and 100-yard ranges, but with no better success. Even on the shortest 

 range, not a hit was scored. At last, in despair, he commanded: 



"Squad, attention! Fix bayonets! Charge!" 



One day, when there were about 5,000 visitors in the building, a lady 

 said to one of our attendants, to whom she was a stranger: 



"Will you please tell my husband that I'll meet him on the ground 

 floor, north wing?"
