The gentleman behind the desk
received the stranger with a smile
bade him to be seated and said
Have a cigar
Dont mind 11 I do said the
visitor And then sensing something
unusual in the atmosphere he
added Is this a special occasion
Ill say It Is was the reply
Ive got an addition to the family
Really said the stranger
Congratulations
He put a match to the cigar
puffed on it a few times and then
observed About the fifth child I
presume
NO GORILLA
He was the frail Frank Sinatra
type She was sweet and receptive
but still realistic
When I crush you in my arms
like this he whispered what are
you thinking of
Without hesitation she replied
Tho manpower shortage
Not Hereditary
The youthful mountaineer had
Just been brought into court and
sentenced for breach of the peace
Testimony showed that he had done
some feuding featured by the adept
handling of a knife
After the trial his grizzled old
father stood with a group of cronies
on the courthouse lawn
T swear he said I dont know
whar that boy gets all his mean-
ness Now you take me I never
stuck a knife deep In nobody
Those Canny Scotch
A Scotchman leaving his friends
house where he had been visiting
held out to his hosts small son a
nickel and a dime saying Now
Sandy which one will ye hae
Young Sandy being a cute wee
beggar said Ach Mr Mac Tav
Ish I was always taught not to be
greedy so Ill have the wee one
Mac Tavlsh replied Weil noo
Sandy for being a guld bairn and
no greedy Ill gle the big one to
ye
Not What He Thought
Cries for help attracted a passer
bys attention He came upon a
big man beating up a small individ-
ual
Leave him alone the Samaritan
shouted and threw himself on top
of the big man and knocked him flat
with an uppercut
Thanks said the little guy after
he pulled himself together Now
lets you and I share this 50 I
took oft of him

Belter Part of Valor
A candidate for the police force
was being verbally examined
If you were by yourself In a
police car and were being pursued
by a desperate gang of criminals In
another car doing forty miles an
hour on a lonely road what would
you do
The candidate promptly replied

A ship dropped anchor oft a small
island in the South Pacific and im-
mediately its crew began hauling
cases of coconuts ashore
Whats going on here7 the lone
castaway on the island asked
Well replied the captain
didnt you send a note in a bottle
saying you were here and down to
your last coconut
Maybe She Meant It
She was a smart and pretty girl
She wrote the advertising for a large
dry goods concern Her mind used
to run so much upon her business
that one day when she wrote her
lover to meet her that night at home
she unconsciously added as a post-
script Come early and avoid the
rush
WELL ISNT IT
Mrs What time was It when you
came in last night
Mr It was a quarter of twelve
Mrs It so happens I looked at
the clock and it was three
Mr Well thats a quarter of

What asked Sandy surprised
and flattered Again
