Nothing Unusual
A MAN and his dog went into a
restaurant and sat down at the
counter. The man ordered a cup of
coffee with cream and sugar. The
waiter said to the dog: "And what
will you have?"
“The same, only no cream or sug
ar/” answered the dog.
They received their order, drank
the coffee and walked out
A customer, who had watched the
performance, said to the waiter:
“Isn’t that the strangest thing you
ever saw?”
“No,” replied the waiter, “a lot of
customers like their coffee without
cream or sugar.”
Persuasive Letters
A hardware supply house found
one dealer particularly backward
about settling his accounts. Letter
after letter, first polite, then threat
ening, was dispatched to no avail.
At last a representative went to see
him and asked: “Why haven’t you
sent us any money? Things going
badly?” v,
“Oh, no,” was the cheerful reply.
"Everything’s fine. But those letters
of yours were so good I copied them
and sent them out to my own de
linquent customers, and they’ve
brought in nearly everything that’s
owing me. I felt sure there must be
another letter or two, so I was hold
ing back until I had your complete
series.” •
INCENTIVE
Two buzzards were lazily soaring
over the desert when a jet-propelled
plane zipped by them, its exhaust
throwing flame and smoke. As it
whizzed out of sight, one of the buz
zards remarked: "That bird was
really in a hurry.”
“You’d be in a hurry, too,” said
the other, "if your tail was on fire.”
A New Lingo
"Miss Jones, may I present Mr.
Smith?”
“Hello, Miss Jones.”
“How dyu you dyu. . . .”
“You go to school?”
“Uh huh. Ah shuah dyu.”
“Where?”
‘ “Ah go to Miss J ’s in
Chawlston."
"How long you been going there?”
“Oh, this is mah first ye-ah.”
“Where’d ya go before that?"
“Oh, Ah went to public school and
graduated from high school in the
Bronx.”
A Practical Way
“What are you doing, darling?”
asked the man.
“Balancing my check book,” re
plied the industrious wife.
“How do you do that, when you
don’t even number your checks?”
asked the dubious husband.
“Well,” replied the cheerful mate,
"I try to remember the different
checks I wrote while shopping, then
I add $40 and call it present bal
ance."
The Easy Life
They tell this story about a politi
cally appointed worker in one of our
larger cities. He had just finished a
leisurely meal and was perusing the
newspaper when his wife ex
claimed: “Hadn’t you better be get
ting back to the offioe?”
“You’re right,” he replied, “you
know, for a minute, I thought I was
at the office.”
Partly Right
When the lecturer returned to
England after a tour of the United
States, a friend asked him what the
Americans thought of him.
“Well, some members of the press
told me that my clothes didn’t fit so
well and that I was conceited.
“Tsk, tsk,” comforted the friend,
‘Tm sure they were mistaken
about your clothes.”
Fortunate Absence
A neighbor who t was passing
Meezy Moots’ ramshackled little
cottage called out to the indefatig
able hook, line and sinker man:
“Hear tell you went fishing today,
Meezy. Have any luck?”
Meezy laughed.
“I shore did,” he replied. "Three
bill collectors called while I was
away."
Out of Date
Clara — Any fashions in the

Father—Yes, but they are of

Needed It
Probably nowhere in the world do
women have sharper claws or
sharper tongues than in movievllle.
Witness the remark of two filmites
overheard as they discussed a mu
tual “friend.”
Said the first: “She certainly has
developed a big head.”
Said the other: “She needs it to
support her two faces!”
