HAT bait do you use," said a Saint to the Devil, "When you fish where the souls of men abound?" "Well, for special tastes," said the King of Evil,
 * "Gold and Fame are the best I've found."

"But for general use?" asked the Saint. "Ah, then," Said the Demon, "I angle for Man, not men,
 * And a thing I hate
 * Is to change my bait,

So I fish with a woman the whole year round."
