A gold digger is a girl who forgets all about the past and the future and simply enjoys the present. wk Ill lil After Sunday morning services in a Boston church, a woman stayed to chat with a friend, leaving her purse on the seat. When she returned for her purse, it was gone, but she quickly found it in the possession of the clergy- man himself. I thought I had better hold it, he said. You must remember that there are some in the congregation so simple that they might consider it an answer to their prayer. ik lk lk A man was pegging along the street with a walking stick several inches too tall for comfort. A solicitous friend said, That's a nice stick, but you bet- ter have somebody cut a few inches off that end. 1 That wouldn't help, the owner an- swered. It's this end that's too high. lk tk Sk Ike Where've you been? Mike: In a phone booth talking to my girl, but someone wanted to use the phone, so we had to get out. lk ik wk A father and his young son were walking one day when the boy asked how the electricity went through the lighting wires. Don't know, said the father. Never knew much about electrtcity. A little later the boy asked what caused lightning and thunder. To tell the truth, said the father, I never understood that myself. Say, Pop, began the lad after a while. Oh, well, never mind. Go ahead, said the father. Ask questions. Ask a lot of questions. How else are you going to learn? tk if il! Does you take this woman for your lawfully wedded wife? asked the Ne- gro minister of an undersized, bow- legged, watery-eyed shrimp of a man standing up beside 200 pounds of fem- inine assurance. Ah takes nothin', responded the little man gloomily. Ah's bein' took. Page One H und red Tweniy-six My brother swallowed a frog to- day. ' Did it make him sick? Yeah, he's apt to croak any minute. Ik Sk Sk The fat man and his wife were re- turning to their seats in the theatre after the intermission. Did I tread on your toes as I went out? he asked a man at the end of the row. You did, replied the other grimly, expecting an apology. The fat man turned to his Wife. All right, Mary, he said, this is our row. ik 41 HK A man got off a train one daY, green in the face. A friend who met htm asked him what was wrong. Train sickness, said the traveler. I'm always deathly sick when I ride backwards on a train. Why didn't you ask the man sitting opposite you to change with you? asked the friend. I thought of that, said the traveler, but there wasn't anybody there. ll i Ill At a large dinner party a financier was placed next to a lady whose name he didn't catch. During the first course he noticed at the left of the host a man who had bested him in a business trans- action. Do you see that man? he muttered ferociously to his dinner part- ner. If there's one man on earth I hate, he's it. Why, exclaimed the lady, that's my husband! Yes, I know, said the financier, making a quick recovery, That's why I hate him.
