10 FRATERNITY LEI’S SMILE Toots Shor, the well known New York restauranteir, hailed a cab some time ago, and asked the driver, “Know of a decent restaurant? I’m a stranger here.” “Yes, sir”, said the cabby. “One of the greatest eating places in the whole world is Toots Shor’s on 51st Street. I’ll drive you straight there.” At the end of the journey Toots was so pleased that he slipped the cabby a ten-spot saying, “Keep the change.” “Thanks a lot”, said the driver. “Thanks a lot, Mr. Shor!” ★ ★ ★ They were going to a party. “I’ll only be a few more minutes, dear”, she called from the bedroom. “Take your time, sweetheart”, her husband replied patiently. “I have to shave again anyway.” ^ Johnny was being permitted to bring in the kittens when a shrill protesting meowing and spitting was heard. “Be careful not to hurt the kittens, Junior”, cautioned his father. “But I am being careful, Daddy”, replied Johnny. “I’m carrying them by their stems.” Boxer (betweeen rounds): “How did you like that first round — he never laid a glove on me.” His Second: “Well, you better keep an eye on the referee then. Somebody’s knocking the daylights out of you.” ★ ★ ★ A rather small boy was frightened of the large bulldog that occupied the yard next to his home. One day, feeling rather adventurous,. the little boy climbed the fence and the huge bulldog rushed up to him and licked his face. The boy began to scream and his mother arrived on the scene almost immediately. “Did he bite you, darling?” “No”, whimpered the little boy, “but he tasted me.” ★ ★ ★ “What a lovely gown, my dear”, gushed one lady to another at a cocktail party. “It’s such a shame they didn’t have it in your size.” ★ ★ ★ “What’s so difficult about being a politician?” the newsman asked the Senator. “Well, my good man”, replied the Senator, “did you ever try to straddle a fence while keeping one ear to the ground?” ★ ★ ★ A farmer read an advertisement for a “sure-fire” potato bug killer. Excited to find one at last, he put his address on the coupon, enclosed a money order for $5.00, and sent it off. In due time, as the story goes, he received a package containing two solid blocks of wood — one marked “A” and the other “B” — and a set of directions. The directions read: “Place the potato bug on block A and hit it hard with block B.”
