A MOVIE showed on the screen
a bevy of shapely girls dis
robing for a plunge in a swimming
hole. They had just taken off their
hats, shoes and coats and were be
ginning to remove their dresses
when a passing freight train dashed
across the screen and obscured the
view. After it passed, the girls were
frolicking in the water.
An old railroader sat through the
show again and again. At length an
usher tapped him on the shoulder.
“Aren’t you ever going home?” he
asked. "Nothing doing,” was his
answer. “One of these times that
train’s gonna be late.”
\ PRACTICAL ANSWER
Examiner—What’s the best thing
to do when your brakes won’t hold?
Driver—Hit something cheap.
Sales Talk
“Oh, Mrs. Brown,” gushed the vis
iting Mrs. Tucker, “your husband
must love you very dearly. I sat
across the aisle from him on the
suburban express last Thursday aft
ernoon and heard him praising you
to a woman who was sitting next
to him.”
• Mrs. Brown laughed delightedly.
“Well,” she finally replied, “John
is a fairly devoted husband, but I
think he was exaggerating a little
when you heard him. You see, he
was bringing out the new cook, and
when you heard him he was giving
me a build-up.”
Logical Conclusion
The court waxed hot. “Sir,”
stormed the defense lawyer, "you
have admitted you were seated on
the right side of the passenger coach
where you couldn’t see an extra
track. Will you please explain to
this jury how you can swear the
line was double-tracked?”
“Well,” meekly answered the wit
ness, “I could look across the aisle
and through the coach windows. I
saw a train whiz by occasionally,
and took it that there was either a
track under it or else this railroad
had some mighty good railroaders.”
They Needed It
She had insisted on taking along
every garment she owned. They
arrived at the station loaded with
baggage.
“I wish,” said the husband
thoughtfully, “that we had brought
your piano.”
“Now, let’s try not to be funny,”
came the frigid reply.
“I’m not trying to be funny,” he
sadly explained. “I left the tickets
on it.”
Look Who’s Talking!
Englishman — Odd names your
towns have—Poughkeepsie, Wee-
hawken, Oshkosh, Oskaloosa, Neta-
waka, Pawhattan, Albuquerque.
American — I suppose they do
sound queer to English ears. Do
you live in London all the time?
Englishman—No, indeed, I spend
part of my time at Chipping Nor
ton, and divide the rest between
Bigglewade and Leighton Buzzard.
Evidently
“Good morning, Jimmy,” said
the neighbor to the small boy
sweeping off the porch. “Is your
mother in?”
“Would I be doing this if she
weren’t?”
BORN THAT WAY
African Hunter—While wandering
around a native village I spotted a
leopard.
Sweet Girl—Don’t be silly. They
grow that way.
Afternoon of Life
Little Elsie has reached the age
where she has begun to observe and
reflect upon the manners and con
duct of her elders.
The other day a friend asked,
“Elsie, how old is your Aunt Mar
tha?”
The youngster considered the
query briefly, then replied, “Well,
I don’t know exactly, but a cup of
tea rests her.”
Out of Tune
Wife—My husband is becoming
quite a musician.
Friend—What does he play? The
piano?
Wife—No, he goes out fit as a fid
dle and comes home tight as a
drum.
