HARD LANDING
Ellen Terry always felt that the
efficiency of property men contrib
uted as much to the success of a
play as did the dramatic talent of
die actors involved.
One night the audience sat in ab
sorbed silence. Miss Terry was
about to commit suicide by jump
ing from the high rock into the riv
er. However, the property men had
forgotten to place a mattress in the
stage “river.” Thus she landed on
the bare floor with a loud thud. The
audience’s titters turned to roars of
laughter when someone in the gal
lery shouted:
“What do you know—the water’s
frozen.”
IDENTIFICATION POINT
Feeling thirsty, the professor
crawled out of his berth and made
his way through the silent railway
coach to the water cooler. In hi?
abstraction he had failed to note
the number of his berth and soon
found himself hopelessly lost in the
maze of curtained compartments.
“Can’t you remember the num
ber of your berth?” asked the con
ductor.
“I’m — er — afraid not,” was the
reply.
“Well, haven’t you any idea
where it was?”
“Why, uh—oh, yes, to be sure.”
The professor brightened with a
sudden recollection. “I did notice
one time this afternoon that the
windows look out upon a little
lake!”
Oh Fudge!
Shocked by the language used by
two men repairing telephone wires
on the post, the chaplain reported
them to the executive officer, who
ordered the men to make a report
of the incident. Here is what Pri
vate Smith wrote: “Me and Pri
vate Jones were on the job and
I was up the pole and accidental
ly let the hot lead fall on him and
it went down his neck and Private
Jones said: ‘Really, Private Smith,
you must be more careful.’ ”
Broad Hint
“Daughter has arranged a little
piece for the piano.”
“That’s fine,” commented Dad.
“It’s about time we had a little
peace.”
MEETING AT LAST
Groping downstairs in his bare
feet, the British householder sur
prised an intruder packing the
family silver into a bag.
“By Jove, a real burglar! I say,
wait a minute, will you?”
“And you’ll call a bobby!”
snarled the burglar.
“Oh no, only while I call my
wife. She’s heard you every night
for 20 years, and I’m sure it will
be a real pleasure for her to meet
you at last.”
Breaking the Peace
Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Wil
liamson had been quarreling for
years. At last, through the good of
fices of the local clergyman, they
had been brought together at the
parsonage and induced to shake
hands in a mutual pledge of peace.
After an embarrassing silence,
Mrs. Thompson exclaimed, “Well,
Mrs. Williamson, I wish you all
that you wish me.”
“Now who’s saying nasty
things?” snapped Mrs. Williamson.
A Long Wait
When the Chicago subway was be
ing dug a drunk stopped beside the
excavation and called down to the
man at the bottom of the pit:
“Shay, watch doin’ down there?”
“We’re building a subway,” one
of the men responded.
“How long is it goin’ to take to
buil’ it?”
“Three years,” came the answer.
“Three years! I’ll take a taxi.”
Small Change
At a meeting Dr. Oliver Wendell
Holmes once attended, there were
magiy tall men present. Someone
said to the doctor, “You must feel
rather small among those big fel
lows.”
“I do,” replied the doctor, who
always thought rather well of him
self. “I feel like a dime among a
lot of pennies!”
