Joy Martin: I don ' t believe there ' s any tur- tle in this soup at all. Waiter: Turtle? I know there isn ' t. If you ordered cottage pudding you wouldn ' t ex- pect to find a cottage in it, would you? Mr. Hughes: Are you equal to the task of sawing wood? Ernest Terry: Equal ' s not the word. I ' m superior to it. Mr. Roscoe (in student court): 1 shall have the next person who causes a disturbance thrown into the street. Defendant: Hooray!!! An Irishman was watching a chemist ana ' lyze some water one day. What are you doing with that water? he asked. Analyzing it, replied the chemist. And what ' s that? persisted the Irishman. Finding out what it is composed of, ex- plained the expert. And what is it composed of? queried the observer from Erin. Two-thirds hydrogen, and one third oxy- gen, came the answer. What th ' divil, ain ' t there no water in it? Walter L.: After all, it isn ' t brains, it isn ' t heredity, it isn ' t education, but it ' s personali- ty that counts in making a success. Bill Brown: Righto! ! ! What would you be, old fellow, without personality? Miss Eraser: Henry II died with no heir, John I died with no heir, therefore — Margie Fowler: I knew it was the dark age, but didn ' t they have any air either? Jean: I had a second degree burn in cooking today! Bob: That ' s nothing, I have 3rd Degree Boehne for science every day. Bill Waste (coming into class from hall duty): Did anything happen while I was gone? Bob Henderson: No, only someone spilled ink on the seat you ' re sitting in. Miss Stout: What is the first thing you do before washing your gym suit? Alice Hyerle: Look at the name on it. Miss Stout: Oh, and why do that? ■ Alice: To m.ake sure I don ' t wash some- one else ' s, Motto of the student who flunks in ex ' s: Fools ask questions wise men cannot an- swer. Chemistry Teacher (who had been a little too exacting with a student at an examination in chemistry, asked as a final question): Can you tell me anything at all about prussic acid? Yes, replied the student. It is a deadly poison. One drop on the end of your tongue would kill a dog. Last night Harriet called me an impecuni- ous barracuda. Didn ' t you resent it? No; it wasn ' t till I got home that I found that the name was high-brow for ' A Poor Fish ' . Miss Ochoa (in chemistry): Under what combination is gold released most quickly? Verton O- Marriage. Laura P.: I may be poor, but there was a time when I rode in a carriage. Bea N.: Yes, I know, but who pushed it?

Can you type? Yes, I use the Columbus system. What ' s that? I discover the key and then land on it. Idler (to girl at information booth): Well, kid, what do you know? And did you hear about that new lipstick called ' North Wind ' ? It always gets a chap on your lips. Dorothy Michel: Do you think I will ever be able to do anything with my voice? Margie Garges: Well it might come in handy in case of fire or ship wreck. Call a woman a chick and she smiles; Call a woman a hen and she will howl; Call a young woman a kitten and she likes it; Call an old woman a cat and she hates you; Women are queer! ! ! ! Walter Lewis: Oh look at that funny man sitting on the sidewalk talking to a banana peel. There was a man from Boston, Who bought a little Austin; And he went flop Into a bakery shop: And lost his car in the frostin ' . After coming in from a twenty-mile hike the officer in command of a negro company said, before dismissing them, 1 want all the men who are too tired to take another hike, to take two paces forward. All stepped forward except one big, husky six-footer. Noting him, the officer inquired, Well, Johnson, ready for twenty miles more? No, sah, replied Johnson. Ah ' m too tired to even take dem two steps. Did you knock them cold in the Latin quiz? Yes — zero. 1910 — Sonny, how many times do 1 have to tell you it ' s bad manners to dip your bread in gravy? 1939 — Yes, father, but it ' s good taste. I stood on the bridge at close of day. Attired in football clothes; And the bridge belonged, 1 wish to say, To the rival half-back ' s nose. Lost — An umbrella, by a scrub, with a weak joint, bent rib, and bone head. Mrs. Smith: Don ' t you think Bea sings with a lot of feeling? Betty Murray: Yes, but I hope she doesn ' t feel as bad as it sounds.
