Page 12 December 26, 1940 Verhovayak Lapja THE HUMOROUS =VEIN= Stuck First Mosquito: “Hooray; here comes a new arrival.’' Second Mosquito: “Good; let’s stick him for the drinks.” Why Not? Policeman: “Your wife has fainted. She needs some air.” Scotchman: “Take her around the corner to the filling station. The air is free there.” Polite “What the dickens are you doing down there in the cellar?” demanded the rooster. “Well, if it’s any of your business,” replied the hen frigidly, “I’m laying in a supply of coal.” Gentle Reminder Brown (describing an earthquake he had experienced) : “The house shook. Cups and saucers flew all over the place.” Jones: “Great Scott! That reminds me I forgot to mail my wife’s letter.” As Usual Tourist (to native onlooker) : “I suppose that in these isolated parts the necessities of life come pretty high.” Native (gloomily): “You’re right, stranger. And it ain’t worth drinking when you get it.” Logical Why is a ship always referred to as “she”? Rear Admiral Chester W. Nimitz gave an answer to the Society of Sponsors of the United States Navy. “Because it cost so much to keep one in paint and powder,” he said. Followed Orders Blacksmith (giving instructions to his new assistant) : “When I nod my head, hit it hard.” He did. Quite So In her school essay on “Parents” a little girl wrote: “We get our parents when they are so old that it is impossible to change their habits.” Trapped Missus: “Well, you can’t say I ran after you.” Mister: “No, and neither does a mouse trap run after mice; but it catches ’em just the same.” Slightly Mistaken A deaf old lady went to live near one of the naval ports. Shortly afterwards a battleship fired a salute of 10 guns. The old lady, who lived alone, got out of her chair, smoothed down iher dress, patted her hair, and said sweetly: “Come in.” 'T was not an act of chivalry, Nor yet the fear of scorn— He offered her his trolley seat To keep her off his corn. It was very good advice that Doctor Pullfast gave at a national convention of dentists when he said: “Be true to your teeth or your teeth will be false to you.” LITTLE JULIUS|SNEEZER BY BABER whV I'M N«T A ^ DOCTOR» PtANOrtWWtf V0O MAO BETTER COMB ALOAffir ■ Doc-rtm.! my ume BROTHER HAS SWALLOW 60 A JITNEY! t* 1, JuuüX-fíUN FOR A DOCTOR!
