Page 12 _Verhovayak Lapja September 26, 1940 Life’s Little Lessons I was kissed by a rascal with laughing eyes, And his kiss was hearty and warm. He thought he had taken me by surprise— Just an innocent lass from the farm. He said he was partial to dark brown hair, And he pulled my brunette curls; He thought I’d be spellbound and wouldn’t care, Just like all his other girls. He lauded my figure, my eyes, my skin, As only a ladies’ man does. He thought I would surely be taken in; As a matter of fact—I was! —Author Unknown. sk * Heh. Heh It was a great occasion, and father looked on with an, amused smile while his eldest son, aged 16, had his first shave. After a great deal of lathering the boy picked up his new razor and began to scrape. Finally, he rinsed the soap from his chin and caressed it' with his hand. Son (murmured proudly): “That’s better.” Father (handing the boy a blade): “You have forgotten to use this.” “Did you ever catch your husband flirting?” “That’s exactly how I did catch him.” * * Lifting the Hat A young man, not wishing tc do anything that was not agreeable to the laws of etiquette, sent the following question to the editor of a Kansas paper: “Please tell me when and where, or is, the correct time for a gentleman to lift or remove his hat?” and here is the reply he received: “Without consulting authorities of etiquette—in fact, giving it to you offhand, so to speak—we would say at the following occasions, respectively, that the hat should be removed or lifted as circumstances indicate: When mopping the brow, when taking a bath, when eating, when going to bed, when taking up a collection, when having the hair trimmed, when beingshampooed, when standing on the head.” * * Come Back Doctor: “I don’t like to mention it but that check you gave me has come back.” Patient: “Well, that sure is funny, Doc, so did my lumbago.” Life’s Minor Tragedies The small boy who went on strike at the church door because they promised him a train to carry up the aisle, and when he got there, it was only part of a lady’s dress. * * A golddigger is the hardest known female. It takes a diamond to make an impression on her. * * Word Painters Visitor: “How does the land lie out this way?” Native: “It ain’t the land that lies; it’s the real estate agents.” * * A Qualification “You don’t seem very enthusiastic about my daughter’s chances of making a singer, professor. Surely she has some qualifications.” “Veil, yah, I admit she’s got a mouth.” 5k * “Does your husband talk in his sleep?” “No! And it’s terribly exasperating. He just grins.” 5k * Own Medicine Barber (to regular customer): “I made a terrible mistake today while I was shaving a fellow.” Regular Customer: “What did you do, cut him?” Barber: “No, that wouldn’t have mattered so much; I cut myself.” * * “So you met your wife at a night club! Wasn’t that romantic?” “No, it was disastrous. I thought she was home taking care of the kids.” * sk Well Mannered Little Tommy, who had been very carefully brought up, was sitting upon his father’s knee in a crowded bus when a lady entered. “Lady,” said Tommy as he got off his father’s knee, “will you accept my seat?” * * He’s Glad Jake: “What are you crying for?” Jack: “The doctor has taken out one of my teeth.” Jake: “Pooh! Uncle Eb takes all of his out every night, but he doesn’t holler.” Smart Kid The train halted for a moment at a small station. A traveler reached out of of the window, called to a boy, and said: “Here, son, is 50 cents; get me a 25-cent sandwich and one for yourself.” Just as the train started to pull out, the boy hurried up to the train window, and shouted: “Here’s your quarter, mister. They only had one sandwich.” Some Hound! Jack: “What is the noblest kind of dog?” Jiff: “I give up.” Jack: “The hotdog. It not only doesn’t bite the hand that feeds it; it feeds the hand that bites it.” Just Too Low A tourist speeding along a highway at close to 100 miles an hour was stopped by a patrolman: Tourist (apologetically): “Was I driving too fast?” Patrolman: “Oh, no! You were flying too low.” Thrifty Sandy was thinking of getting married, but wanted to be sure that the girl of his choice was thrifty. So one night when out walking with her, he said, “Maggie, I ken a lassie that reads for ’oors in her bed at nicht and wastes a lot of gas. Do you read in bed?” “Only when it’s a moonlicht nicht,” she replied. A week later they were married.

Mr. Siipcho is the publicity agent of his branch and is an active contributor to the journal. Mr. Simcho commenced his interesting talk by giving an account of Verhovay life and activities in Omaha, where there are few Hungarians. It was inspiring to learn how well the little Omaha Verhovay group manages to foster and keep alive the fraternal spirit of the Magyar race. After his Verhovay talk Mr. Simcho made a few corrections on the Easterner’s impression of the “wild and woolly West,” explaining that there are no bespangled cowboys but cow hands, and that the people do not tote six-shooters. Rodeo, Mr. Simcho said, is not pronounced with the accent on the second syllable, as heard in the East, but with the accent on the first syllable. Dudes come back with the first pronunciation. And it was thrilling to hear the description of the law of the range and the wonderful hospitality of the people who, when they meet strangers, invite them to their homes for repast. We enjoyed Mr. Simcho’s. very interesting and informative talk, and we thank him for his visit. We invite Mr. Simcho to visit us again. —Mrs. Kenneth Norman. Publicity Manager Branch 395.-------------o------------Having an exceptionally long wheel base and with its motor mounted between the saddle and rear wheel, a motorcycle invented by a resident of Cairo, 111., is asserted to have improved riding qualities.
