The next day Pat was missing, but five days later he was back to work. When the boss came through and saw him at work he tapped Pat on the shoulder.' “Didn’t you get my letter?” he asked. “Yes, sir, I did,” said Pat. "Well, didn’t you read it?” asked the boss. "I sure did that,” answered Pat, “inside and out. On the inside ye said I was fired, and on the outside said 'Return to A.B.C. R. R. Shops in five days.’ Boss, I’ve had a heck of a time doin’ nothing for five days.” TWIN WANTED A little man came into the office of a psychiatrist. "Come in,” boomed the doctor. “What seems to be the trouble? "I was wondering,” the little man offered timidly, “if you couldn’t split my personality for me.” The doctor looked puzzled. “Split your personality? Why goodness me, my man, why would you want that done? Tears tumbled down the little man’s face. “Oh, doctor,” he wailed, “I’m so lonesome!” Such Humiliation!

She handed the paper to the professor, who opened it and read: “I am running away from home and I am taking the money you hid in the dresser drawer and have gone to the south maybe to Mexiko Your son.” "Oh the shame of it!” shrieked the professor. "To think that a son of mine could be guilty of using such horrible grammar. He eveu misspelled Mexico.” Early Game A shop foreman found certain off- duty chores accumulating' till his daylight afterwork hours were not enough to complete them. So he posted a bulletin one morning ask ing his employes to start work at six o’clock for a few days, to ac commodate him. "You play ball with me and I’ll play ball with you,” he added. One of the sleepy-eyed workmen read the sign, pondered a minute, then wrote below. “O.K., I guess. But six a.m. is no time to play ball.” The Whistle Blows Endeavoring to rest after an ex ceeding hard day, poor father was being bedeviled by an endless stream of unanswerable questions from little Willie. “What do you do down at the office?” the youngster finally asked. "Nothing!” shouted father. It looked like the kid had been put off for a while, but not for long. For after a thoughtful pause, Willie in quired, "Pop, how do you know when you’re through?” NO FEED PROBLEM The farmer, just back from the county fair witlf a new horse, dis covered that the animal refused to eat or drink. “Well,” he said hopefully, “looks like I got a real bargain, if he’s a good worker.” Maybe He Had!
