FRATERNITY 11 LET’S SMILE “My first turkey”, exclaimed the bride proudly, as they sat down at the table. “It looks delicious, darling”, said her husband. “What did you stuff it with?” “Stuff it with? Why, honey, this one wasn’t hollow.” ★ ★ ★ In one family, the wife definitely was the boss. Every Friday, she would get her husband’s complete pay check and then give him only enough for his daily lunches. One day the timid little husband cam ehome very excited. “You will never guess what happened”, he told his wife. “I have just won fifty thousand dollars on a sweepstakes ticket.” “Wonderful”, said the wife, and then, “and where did you get the money for the ticket?” ★ ★ ★ “My father is an Eagle, a Moose, an Elk and a Lion”, boasted a junior high youngster. “Yeah?” gasped his buddy. “How much does it cost to see him?” ★ ★ ★ Did you hear about the new bride who cried: “Boo hoo! The dog ate up all the nice cookies I baked for you.” And her groom answered, “Don’t cry, honey.

One woman noticed that the gentleman who lived directly above her was carrying a large covered bird cage. “What have you there?” she asked out of curiosity. “That’s my pet rooster”, said the man. The woman gasped and fainted. When she was revived, she told her anxious neighbor, “I’m sorry I fainted, but you see I’ve been under treatment by a psychiatrist for the past year because I kept hearing a rooster crowing!” ★ ★ ★ A woman was weighing herself while her husband looked on. She made a face. “What’s the matter?” he asked, “are you overweight?” “No, not that” she replied. “But, according to this chart, I should be six inches taller.” ★ ★ ★ OUR VTDIOTS Parents who use the TV set as a disciplinary weapon may be interested in the experience of one mother who attempted to punish a misbehaving seven-year-old by sending him up to bed when his favorite program was supposed to be on. “And when you say your prayers”, the mother advised, “you’d better ask God to make you a good boy tomorrow.” “Why?” queried the child. “What’s on tomorrow?”
