Measures against cholera

Vasile Morţun [Romanian politician and writer]. And with that phrase we end the circular. Continuing, Mr. Copyist:
“Therefore, the mayors of rural communities are invited to take emergency measures to combat cholera, whose so-called comma-bacillus is currently wreaking havoc in neighboring countries.”
The mayor of Pelagroșii de Jos. “Stan Poşircă, why don’t you take the paper back and go to hell with it! Do you want to fill the village with cholera?”
“Me, Mr. Mayor ?!”
“You and your petition that has more than 14 commas: I counted them myself!”
(Furnica, Bucharest, 1910)
