Flu and rent are antagonistic. Who pays the rent while they have the flu? Who has the flu without paying the rent?
I’m not going to work, because I’ve got the flu. Better for employment!
It seems that the bookmakers and the drummers do not get sick. Public Assistance must be immunizing them!
The tailor has said to take your measurements if I don’t pay. It is preferable to take a purge!
This flu is very benign. The doctors are in good spirits. There is no need to get along with the heirs.
I buy clothes on the installment plan. I buy a piece of land on the installment plan. I buy furniture on the installment plan. The system is so good that I will get the flu on the installment plan.
(Caras y Caretas, Buenos Aires, 1927)
