Cholera

The nut is coming!

“My lord, I am going on a trip to Europe, and I think it very fair that you should transport my luggage.”
“I shall take it with pleasure, but charge for the passage.”

“Have they called?”
(Surely it’s the fulminating cholera.)
“Come on, open up, Arturo.”
“No; ladies first.”

“I am terrible, I am cruel. Whoever catches a sip of me….. Cholera morbo is here for anyone who wants something from him!”

(Madrid Cómico, Madrid, 1883)
