Wave: I could adore a man like you. Conceited Gob: You're out of luck. There ain't nobody like me. .-.l...i..i. Strubbe: Flying experts say that rocket planes will carry passengers across the continent in five years. Candall: That's too slow. I could walk it in that time. .J...ii.l A preacher met a small boy on the street, patted his head and asked, What is your name, little man? Well, if that ain't the limit! You ought to know. You're the guy that baptized me. ' Brother can you spare 15 cents? Why don't you ask for a dime like other panhandlers do? I'm working overtime. .1-41.-.. Papa Stork: I sure had a busy day today. I delivered 168 babies. Mama Stork: Yes, I had a busy day too. I delivered 142 babies. Baby Stork: I didn't do so much, but I sure scared hell out of a couple of high school kids. Agossip is a person who talks to you about others. A bore is one who talks to you about himself. A brilliant con- versationalist is one who talks to you about yourself. y , -11.2.-1 Visitor: Your baby is certainly a cute little rascal. Does he take after his father? : Mother: Yes, in a way. His father isn't so cute, but he is much more of a rascal. .' ' A minister was very fond of cherry brandy, and one of his elders decided to play a joke on him. I'll give you a bottle of cherry brandy, he' said, if you 'will promise to acknowledge it in the church magazine. In due course a paragraph ap- peared in the church magazine thank- ing the donor for his gift of fruit and the spirit in which it was given. Young Girl Cdisgustedj: My boy friend has cold feet. Fond Auntie: Shame on you, young lady. In my day we didn't find out those things until we were married. The height of irony is to present dad with a billfold for Christmas. X Give a girl enough rope and she'll tie you down. lst Wife: My husband travels so much that each time he comes home he seems a perfect stranger. 2nd Wife: Oh, how thrilling! LOTHT: One front tooth. Finder pleath return immediately, becauthe it ith im- paring owner's speech. I wish I were a porcupine' For just a week or two. For then I would have points enough To come back home to you. Wife Cto husband readingD: I want to do some shopping today if the weather permits. What does the paper say? Husband: Rain, hail, sleet, snow, thunder, lightning, and fierce winds. The Iapanese Admiral reported to the Son of Heaven : We blasted Pearl Harbor, mission so successful. We blasted Midway Island, no good. We blasted Bataan, and At- tu, no good. We just a bunch of no- good blasters. -.-...i.?. Voice from the bridge: All hands lay abaft the after taffrail to haul taut the after gafter and litle lambsie divey. -.-.-...-1. lst Wave: Dick called the! barracks four times before I gave him adate. 2nd Wave: Who did he ask for the other three times? The bachelor's a ca e u , And has a lot of fun? Y g Y He sizes all the cuties up And never Mrs. one. Chief, answering the phone: I don't know. Call the aerologer. A ' Wife: Who was that, dear? Chief: I don't know-some sap want- ed to know if the coast was clear. How'd you get along with your wife in that fight the other night? Aw, she came crawling to me on her hands and knees. What did she say? Come out from under that bed, you coward! 1.1.-Qi. After a thorough examination, the Navy doctor eyed the tall and very thin man in silence. Well, doc, how do I stand? asked the new recrgit. Goodness knows, 'replied the doc- lOI'. It's ct miracle, YOU CAN STOP READING NOW- THAT'S ALL. '- 'ii ' - '5'
