FRATERNITY 11 LET’S SMILE My friend took her granddaughter to the local church to see a wedding. They saw the bride arrive with her father, a rather old man, and after the ceremony saw her on the arm of her young husband. “Look”, said the little girl, “she’s changed an old one for a young one. Why don’t you bring Granddad down and change him?” ★ ★ ★ Waiting for my car’s fenders to be fixed, I saw a car with a banged-up radiator being towed into the shop. An Air Force officer got out of the car, and the foreman stepped up to write the order. “How did the accident happen?” he asked. “Well”, replied the flying officer rather sheepishly, “I was coming up rather fast behind another car, and I hauled back on the steering wheel, intending to fly over it!” ★ ★ ★ “Is your mother home?” inquired a visitor of a small boy who was mowing the lawn. “You don’t think I’m cutting the grass because it’s too long, do you?” ★ ★ ★ An alarmed motorist stopped hurriedly when he saw a young man standing beside an overturned small sports car. “Anybody hurt in the accident?” he inquired. “There wasn’t any accident”, replied the young man calmly. “I’m just changing a tire.” ★ ★ ★ Out of his Cadillac staggered a sweltering Texan and collapsed in his living room. “Why didn’t you roll down the car window, silly?” asked his wife. “What”, he replied, “and let everyone know I don’t have an air- conditioned car?” ★ ★ ★ Husband to friend: “It’s terribe to grow old alone — my wife hasn’t had a birthday in six years.” ★ ★ ★ When a worried looking man entered a florist shop and asked for potted geraniums, the clerk said, “I’m sorry, sir, I’m out of geraniums. How about tulips?” “No, tulips won’t do”, replied the man. “I promised my wife I’d water her geraniums while she was away.” ★ ★ ★ A small boy was walking along, crying bitterly. “What’s the trouble, son?” asked a kindly gentleman. “My mother lost her psychology book”, the lad explained between sobs, “and now she’s using her own good judgment.” ★ ★ ★ Wife: “I’ll be ready in a minute, dear.” Husband: “Take your time, honey, I’ve got to shave again.”
