An old negro was burning the grass of his field and a “Know-it-all’’ walked by. Webb Mac. “Don’t burn that, it will be as black as you.’’ Negro: “Nevah mind; it will grow up again and be as green as you.” Willie saw some dynamite Couldn’t understand it quite. Curiosity never pays— It rained Willie seven days. A Nazi plane crashed off the coast of Norway and a Norwegian fisherman went out to rescue the survivors but he came back empty handed. He was asked if there wasn’t anyone alive and the fisherman answered, “One of them said he was, but you know how those Nazis lie.” Manager: “Didn’t you get my letter firing you?” Jean D.: “Yes, sir. But on the letter it said, ‘Return in five days !’ ” Professor: This plant belongs to the Begonia family. Albert F.: Ah, yes. How nice of you to look after it while they’re on their vacation. “That absent-minded Professor Schmaltz has left his umbrella again. He’d leave his head if it were loose,” observed the waiter. “That’s true,” said the manager. “I just heard him say he was going to Switzerland for his lungs.” Officer : Hey Lady! Pull over to the curb. Don’t you know you were doing seventy-five? Miss Weller: Isn’t that marvelous! And I just learned to drive yesterday. Mr. Canale: It gives me great pleasure to mark you 85 on your examination. Archie M.: Why not make it 100 and give yourself a real thrill? ‘ I’ve told thousands of women where to get off.” “You must be a lady killer.” “No, I run an elevator in a department store.” Miss Herring: Now boys, if Napoleon were alive today, what do you think he would be doing? G. Hockey: ‘ Drawin’ an old-age pension.” Newsboy: Extra! Extra! Read all about it. Two men swindled.” Mr. Smith: “I’ll take one . . . Say, there isn’t any- thing about two men being swindled.” Newsboy: ‘Extra! Extra! Three men swindled.” What’s that ugly insignia on the side of the bomb- er?” ‘ Sh-h-h-h! That’s the commanding officer looking out of the porthole.” Politician: (boarding train): Porter, I’m in lower three. Is my berth ready?” Porter: “No, sir. I thought you politicians made up your own bunk.” ‘My uncle is in the hospital.” ‘ What’s the matter with him?” “He walked down a ladder a few minutes after they had taken it away.” HE GOT IT STRAIGHT ‘ Well, my son, what did you learn in Sunday school today?” We learned all about a cross-eyed bear.” “About a what?” “Yes, sir, named Gladly. We learned a song about him : all about ‘Gladly, the cross I’d bear.’ ” Page Twenty-Seven
