I -PHOEH p -5 , JOKES Sticking the woxnen's dress he had just bought under his arm, the male shopper started for the door. b Hey, mister, you didn't pay for that gown, called the clerk. I ain't swipin' it, replied the customer snappily. My wife told me to get 'sky 4blue,' and I'm just taking it outside to see if it matches. 'Doesn't it strike you that's a queer-shaped harp that new woman-angel is lugging around1 asked St. Peter with a perplexed frown. That isn't a harp, tha.t's a radio set, an- swered Gabriel, with a pitying look at his superior. She's enjoying her husband 's howls from Station HLL. What a splendid fit, said the tailor, as they carried the epileptic out of his shop. Of all the sad surprises There 's nothing to compare With treading in the darkness On a step that isn't there. THE FLATTER THE-PLATE THE FEWER THE SOUP! Lady- Never heard of the Ten Command- ments, little boy! But where have you been all these years? What is your name? Little boy-- Moses, Mum. A drunken man was staggering down the street with two suspicious looking packages un- der his arms when he niet a policeman. What are you carrying under your arm! he asked him. Under one arm I have granulated sugar for my coffee, and under the other one, powdered sugar for my tea, answered the drunkard. Policeman, hitting him on the head with his club, Yes, and there's a lump for your cocoa. Erhardt: Did the doctor remove your ap- pendix? Marjory E.: Feels to me like ho removed my whole table of contents. J udge: drunk ? ' But how do you know he was 1 Jones: He was arguing with his wife on a street eorner. Judge: That doesn't prove he was drunk, does it? Jones: No, but you sec, his wife wasn't there at alll' What 's a orator, Rastusln Don't you know? replied Rastus in sur- prise. Well, I'll tell you what a orator is. lf you was to walk up to a ordinary pusson and ask him how much was two and two, he'd say 'four,' but when you ask one of us orators how much is two and two, he'd say 'When in de course of human events it becomes necessary to take de numeral of de second denomination and add it to de figger 2, I says unto you, and I says it without fear of successful contradiction, dat de result will invariqbly be four! Dat's a. ora- tor. Mr. Jones was very fond of his old Grand- father elock and when he was moving, he decid- ed not to trust it to the draymen, but to carry it himself. It was a huge atfair and he had to st.op and set it down often to rest. A slightly intoxicated man watched this 'procedure for two blocks and finally accosted him saying, Shay, Mister, llve just got one question to ask you. Why don't you carry a watch in- stead? We 've all heard about the absent-minded professor who poured the syrup down his back and scratched his pancake, but the one that worries us is the one who poured catsup on his shoe-lace and tied his spaghetti. Let poets sing their lilting songs And gaily smite the lyre, Give me the man who whistles while He 's putting on a tire. George: ' ' Where 's Tom il ' ' Vernon: He's over eating in the cafeteria. George: Hai Ha! That's good. Who ever heard of anybody over-eating in the cafeteria? Page One Hundred Thirty-three
