LAFFS OF LIFE FROM DRIFTWOOD SCHOOL JoAnn: fadmiring her engagement I ringl: There's nothing in the world harder than a diamond, is there? Milton: Yes, sweetheart--keep- ing up the installment payments on it. Tommy and Jim went into a restaur- ant the other evening and ordered two hard-boiled eggs to take out. The waitress said: I'm sorry, buddy, but my friend and I have to work until midnight. Alyce: Did you hear them say anything about my cooking ? Betty: No, but I noticed them praying before they started eating. Mr. Hendricks was endeavoring to drum into his students the fundamentals of arithmetic. Now, listen, he said rather desperately. ln order to subtract, things have to be of the same denomi- nation. This is what I mean: You couldn't take three apples from bananas or six plums from eight peaches. It must be three apples from four apples and six plums from eight plums and so on. Do you understand now? The majority of children seemed to grasp the idea. One student very near the bottom of the class, however, raised his hand. Please, teacher, said Kenneth, rather timidly, You can take three quarts of milk from two cows. Ted: I'l1 give you a dime for a kiss. Elizabeth: I can make more than that taking castor oil. DeDe: Does the moon influence the tide? ' Carrol: I wouldn't know honey, but it sure influences the untied. It was a wet day, and as Ruth entered the crowded car, Teddy rose to his feet.

We get fur from him. Doug: I'1l say we do. We get as fur from him as possible. Mr. Miller: A1yce, that young man of yours stays too late when he calls.

Mrs. Hendricks: I would like to know why it is that when- ever I leave the room for a short time and then return I find no one working. Norman: It's because you wear rubber heels, ma'am. My worst sin, Elinor sighed is vanity. I spend hours every day admiring my beauty. That's not vanity, Gladys replied. That's imagination. Larry: Say, Henry, do you know what fairies sit on? Henry: Sure. Fairy tales. Mr. Maddox: How is it that you can't answer any of my ques- tions 'P' ' Barbara: Well if I could, what would be the use of my coming to school?
