Sitting on a pile of luggage was a missionary departing for Fiji.
"I haven't been able to convert them. I've tried everything.
So this time I am going to try the gramophone.
I have a friend in Africa who succeeded marvellously with it.
He gathered his natives around the instrument,
and after the third record they were Christians.
I am taking a thousand which I owe to the generosity of a wealthy
old lady. Ah, the saintly woman."
