It makes me sad. When I think of the humorist in his cold attic trying to write something funny while he slowly freezes to death I am moved i j to tears. Most humor is pathos. l E pl p Because of the fact that humor does not move me to that asinine degree where I : I burst out laughing at the irregularities of life, I am able to study it closely and discover 1 i for myself the following points. l 1. A man may be funniest when he's sad. jl Imagine a fat old man sitting on a park bench and crying, his whole frame shaken I ' K with convulsive sobs because his shoelace is untied, and he's too fat to tie it, and he can't l lx get anyone else to, and he feels that if he tries to walk he will surely stumble. And to I - T ' make matters worse, night is approaching. That is a situation which is truly sad, and yet i j you would no doubt laugh if you saw it. f 1 lx, 2. Humor is valuable in a qualitative analysis of a man. YI.l 73. A man may be judged by what he eats, what he earns, how he earns it, and all of that, but also he is judged by what he uses for humor There are more degrees in humor than there are on a clinical thermometer, and every l 4 p one has a degree that tickles him more than any other, J A man may laugh at another's misfortune at foolish antics j at dirty stories at funny stories at a narration of immoral conduct at his boss's jokes il at his own jokes L at his professors jokes 1 at his wife's jokes, l and yet his motherfinflaw may tell a sample of each of the .above and he will not crack a smile, for a motherfinflaw is no joke to him, which takes care of the motherfinflaw joke. l And now let us proceed to the funny story about the twinfbeds. The twinfbed field has l been worked on pretty steadily since 1912, and most humorists agree that there is nothing , in it, fthe second bed, I meanj. The nenit joke that appears in all well regulated school annuals is the one about the l Irishmen-It seems that there were two Irishmen, one named Pat and the other named l Milte, and as near as I can make out there need be no one else in Ireland as far as the hum' l or is concerned. Later we come to the funny story about the Jew, but when we told it, Abie charged l j us a big commission for the use of his name, and so we don't use it any more. l And lastly, I might tell you the one about the college professor, but it is so realistic : that the faculty might think I was getting personal and clamp down on me. l I -Chi Gamma. l l , if fri li Ili ,gg ri la ii or g 'ig 3 I 11 .- -Z ' ii-E55 jf I '-- --A AM 1- --is Y 'k 4 ' P age 169

ge 170 The Freshman was making his first call at a young lady's house, and her mother met him at the door. No words were passed, and merely glancing at him she slammed the door in his face. Thinking, of course, that it must he an error, he rapped at the door again. This time her father opened it and reaching out a list as big as a ham he knocked the young suitor to the floor of the porch, and followed up with a few wellfdirected kicks in the ribs, rolling him down the steps. Not content with this, the old man dragged him to his feet and gave him the bums rush through the gate and piled him up on the curb. As he turned to go back into the house, the freshman, who was still conscious, raised his head and said, Sfsfsay! W'hat's the idea, anyhow, don't you like me?
