20 THE ALARM 1923 Mae J.: “The night that Arthur and I became engaged, he reminded me of a baseball player on a wet field.” Friend: “How was that?” M ae: “He slipped on the diamond!” Viva (in music store) Perry W. (the clerk) fellow.” “Have you ‘Kissed Me in the Moonlight’?” “Nope, I’m a new man here. Maybe it was the other Prof. Perry: “They say that people with opposite characteristics make the happiest marriages.” Dinty: “Yes; that’s why I’m looking for a girl with money.” M iss Perry: “What is the difference between a pill and a hill?” Art N.: “One is hard to get down, and the other is hard to get up.” Oh! What are the little boys made of ? Oh! What are the little boys made of? Cigarettes and fight, And stay up all night; That’s what the little boys are made of. Oh! What are the little girls made of? Oh! What are the little girls made of? Powder and paint, And lace ’til they faint; That’s what the little girls are made of. Exchange is a clever writer. He is credited with the following: “A clock has hands but no arms. The sea has arms but no hands.” Another old one: Strange. What? Night falls. Yes. But it doesn’t break. Well? Daybreaks. Indeed! But it never falls. Time is money; the watch is your purse; watch your purse. You cannot tell, in their youth, who are going to be leaders. We have had twenty-nine presidents of the United States. Nineteen were college men; among the ten, who were not college men, were Washington and Lincoln. H. L. M. of New Mexico is strong for the euphony of Spanish poetry and gives an example: O, Santa Maria—Mate mi tia—Y come le fria—Sin mantequilla. But as somebody so understandingly said—it don’t mean nothing. Translated into business English the verse reads: Oh, Holy Mary—Kill my aunt—And eat her cold—without butter. WET MEASURE. Two pints, one quart; two quarts, one fight; one fight, two cops; two cops, one judge; one judge, thirty days. Love is like an onion: You taste it with delight, And when it’s gone, von wonder Whatever made you bite.—Shorty.
