DON’T FENCE ME IN!
It had been a wonderful party.
As the life of it tacked down the
street, listing heavily to starboard,
he chuckled happily as he recalled
the merry time he had had. He was
so preoccupied with his thoughts, in
fact, that he didn’t notice the verti
cal iron rods that formed a circle
of protection for the trunk of a tree
growing by the curb. He collided
with them rather heavily but man
aged to grasp one of them to keep
from falling.
He surveyed the situation for a
moment then grasped the next
rung and cautiously followed the
rods until he had toured the tree
four times.
Finally he halted and looked de
spairingly through the rods. He
spied a man across the street and
shouted, “Hey, lemme outta this
thing, will ya?”
A USUAL PLAYER
Two ghosts were playing poker
when a knock came at the door.
“Who is it?” they asked.
“Rigor Mortis—may I sit in?”
Perilous Place
It was the freshmen’s first day on
the campus of a big college. As he
passed the chemistry laboratory, he
saw four students carrying a fifth
one.
“What happened?” asked the
freshman excitedly. -r-
“Oh, he took chloroform,” a stu
dent explained.
“Gee whiz!” exclaimed the fresh
man, “if these courses are as dan
gerous as that, I’d better go back
home.”
Adequate Substitutes
“I can’t understand why you
seem to be so happy and content
ed,” remarked the spinster’s neph
ew. “I always thought that unmar
ried ladies were grouchy and irri
table.”
“Well,” she explaii^d, smiling,
“I’ve got a fireplace that smokes,
a parrot that swears, a cat that
stays out half the night and a dog
that barks. What more do I want?”
Experienced
At a parent-teachers’ meeting one
aggressive woman insisted on hold
ing the platform minute after min
ute. Time dragged on. Finally one
bored man turned to the one beside
him. *
“Can’t anything be done to shut
that woman up?” he growled.
“I’ve been trying for 20 years
without much success,” replied
her husband sadly.
WITH WRINKLES
Howard was very fond of raisins,
and whenever his mother brought
rolls from the bakery, he would pick
all the raisins out when he thought
no one was looking.
His uncle caught him at this trick
one day, and thinking it would
break him of the habit, told him
they were bugs.
Several days later, Howard and
his mother were having dinner at a
downtown restaurant. The man at a
table opposite was eating a dish of
prunes. Much to the embarrassment
of his mother, Howard asked in
quite a loud voice, “Mother, can
I have some of those GREAT BIG
BUGS like that man is eating?”
Much Safer
Dorothy had so many boy friends
she didn’t know which to choose. It
occurred to her to ask her father’s
advice.
"Daddy,” she crooned, “what
kipd of a husband should I look
for?”
"Well, if I were you, I wouldn’t
look for a husband at all. It’s too
dangerous. Take my advice and
choose a single man.”
Poor Competition
A pretty model was a little sur
prised when the artist kissed her,
but considerably more so when he
claimed that she was the first model
he had ever kissed.
“Yes?” she asked incredulously.
“How many models have you had
before?”
“Six,” he replied. “A grapefruit,
two bananas, a cow, a rock and a
mud turtle.”
Hunger Strike
A tramp who had heard that fat
ladies were generous almsgivers ap
proached an especially obese one
and went into his act.
“Lady,” he begged, “please help
me. I’m penniless and starving. I
haven’t eaten in four days.”
“Four days!” exclaimed the wom
an. “My land, I wish I had your
will power!”

One more row to hoe
The boy from the farm is on foreign soil today!
Instead of overalls, he’s wearing his country’s
uniform. He’s standing watch over the hard-won
peace. He’s safeguarding your future!
At heart, he’s still that farm boy. His laughter
sounds the same—when he can laugh. He still goes
for cokes and cakes—when he can get them. And he
still gets mighty homesick—when he has nothing
else to do but think of home.
Your USO has one more row to hoe. Another
round of laughs to plant. Another crop of cheer.
Your USO needs your help, as much as ever. For
millions of American boys still need the USO. They
need the camp shows and clubhouses—the hours of
relaxation and entertainment—a place to hang their
hats and loosen their belts.
They need to know that the folks back home are
still thinking of them—are still willing to pitch in
and make their task a lighter one.
Tell the farm boy you’re with him—every step of
the way. Say it through the USO. Say it with dollars!
Keep it up
