THE PELHAM PNYX 79 HUMOUR The woman who fired 5 times at her husband wants him to return home -she misses him so. We wonder: If our English teacher is a book-worm, is our Geometry teacher an angle-worm? The English class was asked to write an account of a ball game. The following composition was handed in by Ray Collyer- Rain, No Game. FOR SALE-Two tame, well-educated mice Cthey have been through our high schoolD. Apply 3rd Form. As the ink said to the pen: Oh, you dip. Don: Why did the little mouse leave home? Donna: Because his father was a rat. A Scotsman from the remote Highlands paid his hrst visit to London. On arriving at Euston a voice said, Taxi, sir? The fellow shook his head. After exploring London our Scots friend went on to Bristol. On emerg- ing from the station he heard the familiar hail: Taxi, sir? No, thank ye, he bawled. I said 'Nol' in London and l meant it. Now stop following me about. Father: Johnny, what is this '6o' on your report card? Johnny: I-I-Ith-think that's the temperature of the schoolroomf' Father: Well, Willie, what did you learn at school to-day? Willie CproudlyD: I learned to say Yes, sir, and No, sir, and Yes Ma'am, and NO, Ma'am . Father: You did! Willie: Yeah ' 1 As one hole in the ground said to the other hole in the ground: Gee, l feel empty inside! One mouse said to another mouse: Oh , you squealer! A small boy at school for the first time began to sob bitterly. What's the matter, sonny? asked the teacher. Please, Miss, l don't like school, and I've to be here till I'm 14. Oh, don't worry about that, said the teacher, l've to be here till I'm 65! ' Ted: Teacher says I have an inventive genius.' Mrs. Guinn Cbeamingy Splendid! And what did she say you could in- vent? Ted: New ways of spelling words. Diagrams are delicate things just below the ribs, and above the stomach.
