The Laughter Library published 1936 #111

During the Prohibition days a speaker referred to the difficulty of enforcing the law because so many citizens refused to take it seriously.

"They are like the chap whose cellar was searched by enforcement officers the other day." he said.

"An officer said to him, 'There are hundreds of empty whisky bottles in your cellar. How did they get there?'

"'Blest if I know,' said the owner of the cellar and laughed. 'I never bought an empty whisky bottle in my life'."
