A joke from 1922​

“I can’t keep visitors from coming up”, said the office boy dejectedly.
“When I say you’re out they won’t believe me. They all say they must see you.”
“Well, put them off somehow”, said the editor, with a worried look.
“Whatever they say, just tell them: ‘That’s what they all say!’ Be firm, see?”.
“Yes, sir.”
That afternoon a lady called. She had hard features and an acid expression, and she demanded to see the editor at
once.
“Impossible!” said William
“But I’m his wife,” persisted the lady.
“That’s what they all say!” said the boy
