TROPAEUM 19 3 7 - JOKES - Miss Brown: Now, children, since we have described what trees, flowers and plants are, who can tell me in his own words what grass is? Lloyd W.: I can, Teacher. Grass is whiskers on the earth. Explorer: Why, you shouldn’t coinplain about handouts. When I was in the arctic I used to live on candles and blubber. Hobo: Well, if I had to eat candles I guess I would too. Jeanette C. (to librarian): I have brought this book back. Mother told me it wasn’t fit for a young girl like me to read. Librarian: T think your mother must be mistaken. Jeanette: Oh, no, she isn’t. I’ve read it all through. Blaine E.: What are you burying in that hole? You act rather suspicious. Neighbor Bryant: Just replanting some of my garden seeds, old man. Blaine: Seeds! That looks more like one of my white leghorn hens. Bryant: That’s all right, the seeds are inside of her. Wilma B.: Those insurance people that have been hanging around here for the past week ask such funny questions. They even wanted to know the state of my mind. Annabell U.: Well, I suppose you left that blank. Ruth T.: You men are all alike. Bill D.: Is that so? Then why do most girls want three or four? Carlton K.: You know, the job situation doesn’t get a bit better. I’ve been trying to line up a position for several months, but there doesn’t seem to be any. Guess I ’ll have to open up an office after I graduate in May. Harvey 0.: Well, being a janitor isn’t so bad in these times. Jeanette N.: Napoleon must have been quite a boy in his day. Marie B.: Mebbe so, but he’s a bust now. Bryant G.: Say, have you noticed the smell in the library lately? Joe 0.: 0, that’s nothing—just the dead silence they keep there. Willard E.: Rita, will you marry me? Rita: Sure. (Silence from Willard.) Rita: Why don’t you say something else, Willard? Willard: I think I have said too much already. Page Thirty
