We got a big day tomorrow!” ★ ★ ★ Then there’s the one about the little moron who cut a hole in the rug so he could see the floor show. He later sewed it up, of course, because he didn’t want to see the hole show. ★ ★ ★ A doctor, receiving an urgent call from a man who said his son had swallowed a fountain pen, said, “Okay, I’ll be right over. But in the meantime just what are you going to do?” Replied the man, “Oh, I’ll use a pencil.” ★ ★ ★ One psychiatrist hailed another plodding down the street carrying a couch on his head. “What are you doing?” asked the first. “Making a house call”, replied his colleague. ★ ★ ★ The enthusiastic golfer came home to a late dinner.

At the swimming pool they stopped to watch several athletic young men diving and performing stunts. “Oh, daddy”, exclaimed the girl, “and you’ve stocked it just for me!”
