Date	[1 Jan 1807]
Description	Two sailors sit eating pork. One comments: "Why Jack - may I never cast anchor again - if there ant bristles in this pork as thick as cables." The landlady, standing behind the table looks concerned, and says: "Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powder'd it with my own hands." The second sailor replies: "Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress - while your hand was in, I wish you had shaved it also".
