Cyrus 0 Snooker
Hull Daily Mail, Friday 22 August 1930
BACK INTO HISTORY.
I read that American officials of certain bodies want to wear swords as a mark of distinction. If this is decided on, I suggest that they go back to the language which went with swords, or at any rate speak a judicious mixture of that and their own. Here are a few sample sentences:
1. “Prithee bo, hast seen Cyrus 0 Snooker?”
2. “Say, master wouldst give me a hotdog!”
3. “If it’s O.K. wid thou, it’s O.K. wid me.”
4. “Take a load of dis, you puissante dumb-bell I pray thee.”
5. “Most beautiful damsel, when we gonna get hitched up?”
I think these would serve rather well.
