Laugh and the World Laughs With You An elderly lady was asking a salesgirl about instructions for knitting a clog sweater. “And how big is your dog?” asked the girl. After the lady had struggled, unsuccessfully, to describe the dog, the salesgirl suggested, “Why don’t you bring him in?” “Oh, but 1 couldn’t do that,” the distressed lady retorted, “ 1 want it to be a surprise.” Aunt: “If you’ve lost your dog, why don’t you put an ad about him in the newspapers?” Joe: “Oh, that wouldn’t do any good, he can’t read.” Helen: “Why did the little moron fill up the gymnasium with water?” Bucky: “You tell me.” Helen: “Because he heard that the coach was going to send in a sub.” Busy: “Why did your wife save all those burnt- out light bulbs during the war?” Dizzy: “Oh, she was keeping them to use dur¬ ing black-outs.” “So you’re a salesman, George. I suppose you stand behind the products you sell?” “Not on your life. I sell mules.” In addition to his brilliant mind. President Woodrow Wilson had also a quick wit. One day while he was engaged in an animated conversation, his glasses slipped perilously near to the end of his nose. “Your glasses are almost on your mouth,” warned his companion. “Oh, that’s all right,” retorted the President. “I always like to see what Pm talking about!” John: “You mean you took your girl out and only spent three dollars on her?” Herbert: “Well, it was all she had.” Nancy: “My sister takes up English, Russian, German, Italian, French and Spanish.” Bucky: “My, she must be smart.” Nancy: “Not particularly—she runs an ele¬ vator.” Salesman (after a long wait): “I thought your mother was at home.” Boots: “She is, but I don’t live in this house.” Hilda: “Have you decided where you’re going for your vacation?” Hetty: “No, not yet. My husband wants us to take a trip around the world, but I’d rather go someplace else.” Mr. Harper: “This makes the fifth time I’ve had to ask you to stay after school this week. Now what have you to say for yourself?” Leroy: “I’m glad it’s Friday, Sir.” Mrs. Conner (giving lesson on the law of grav¬ ity): “I want you all to understand that it is the law of gravity that keeps us on earth.” Frances: “How did we stay on earth before the law was passel?” Rex: “Why is a dog hotter in the summer than in the winter?” Winnie: “Because in the winter he wears only a coat, but in the summer he wears a coat and pants.” When Doyle joined the police force, the ser¬ geant said. “You’re on the night beat—from here to that red light and back.” They didn’t hear from Doyle for two days. Finally he showed up at the station house. “Where have you been?” thundered the ser¬ geant. “I told you your beat was from here to that red light.” “You did,” said Doyle ruefully, “but that red light was on the back of a truck. 79 —
