Sensitive Mare
A NEW ENGLAND fanner, In a
rare moment of weakness, per
mitted a slow-paying neighbor to
purchase a horse from him par
tially on credit. He regretted the
deal as soon as It had been com
pleted, and wondered how he would
be able to get 'the balance of his
money.
A week later the neighbor re
turned to express dissatisfaction
over his purchase. Being asked
what the trouble was, he com
plained, “The thing I don’t like
about this mare is that she won’t
hold up her head.”
Instantly the farmer saw his op
portunity.
“Oh,” said he, “that is only her
silly pride. She’ll hold up her head
as soon as she has been fully paid
for.”
He got his money.
A COMMON WEAKNESS
A kind-hearted gentleman took a
troubled friend to a psychiatrist
and waited in the reception room
while the unfortunate fellow was ex
amined.
In a few minutes the dofctor
came out and, shaking his head
doubtfully, whispered to the sympa
thetic friend, “I’m afraid there’s no
hope.”
“Why not, doc?” he was asked.
“Well,” said the psychiatrist, “I
asked your friend to lie down on the
couch and relax. Then I put out the
lights and told him to talk freely.
But all he said was, ‘Doc, when is
Donald Duck coming on?’ ’’
Partly Civilized
One day while in the jungles, a
captain of marines ran into a tribe
of cannibals who were getting
ready to sit down to their favorite
repast. The head of the tribe con
fided to the captain that he had
once attended college in the United
States.
“Do you mean to say," asked the
amazed marine, “that you went to
college and that you still eat human
beings?"
“Oh, yes,” replied the chief, "but
of course I use a knife and fork
now!”
Special Service
A fussy woman in a restaurant
was ordering breakfast: “Bring me
two slices of homemade bread
toasted not too hard and buttered
with fresh country butter not too
salty; one, strictly fresh egg
poached medium soft; and orange
juice, well strained, with only half
a cube of ice in it.”
"Yes, madam,” replied the wait
ress. "And would you prefer a plain
gold band or a floral pattern on your
dishes?”
Well Paid
A home-owner, wearing his
oldest clothes, was mowing his
lawn when a woman in a ritzy
car stopped and asked him:
“What do yon get for mowing
lawns?”
“The lady who lives here lets
me live with her,” replied the
home-owner, and the lady in the
car, without comment, drove
away.
OVERHEARD
Mike Finn (reading an epitaph in
the cemetery) — “ ‘Not Dead, But
Sleeping.’ Sure, and that fellow
isn’t deceiving innybody but him-
silf!”
Believed in Signs
“I hear you got a girl, Sam.”
“Yes.”
“What’s her name?”
“Belle.’
“Seen her lately?”
“No.”
“What’s the matter—had a fight
with her?”
“No, I went to her house last
night and there was a sign on the
door, ’Bell out of order,’ so I didn’t
go in.”
Nobody Else Does
“So, God has sent you two more
little brothers, Sally.” said the min
ister to the small daughter of a fam
ily recently blessed with twins.
"Yes,” said Sally, “and he knows
where the money is coming from,
too. I heard Daddy say so.”
