A gentleman

who had a warm side for a young lady was making fun of a sack which she wore.

"You had better keep quiet or I'll give you the sack," replied the lady archly.

"I should be most happy," was the gallant response, "if you give it to me as it is, with yourself inside of it."

Further deponent sayeth not.
