Y, The Humorous Vein “Doctor,” she said loudly, bouncing into the room, “I want you to say frankly what’s wrong with me.” He surveyed her from head to foot. “Madam,” he said at length, “I’ve just three things to tell you. “First, your weight wants reducing by nearly fifty pounds. “Second, your beauty would be improved if you used about one tenth as much rouge and lipstick. “And third, I’m an artist — the doctor lives on the next floor.” STORAGE SPACE Plumber: Why do you want such a big sink? Owner: Well, when my wife leaves in the summer, she’s generally gone for a month. HE TRIED Gladys: Last night Ben tried to put his arm around me three times. Thelma: Some arm, I’d say! / THEIR WAY A rich and pompous man was staying at a small country tavern in England and as he entered the breakfast room the only other visitor present rose to his feet. “Sit down, sit down,” boomed the great and rich one, condescendingly. “Why,” asked the other, “can’t I get up for some marmalade?” QUESTIONABLE Foreman: “How long do you want to be away on your honeymoon?” Employe (timidly): “Well, sir—er—how long would you say?” Foreman: “How do I know! I haven’t seen the bride.” GOB TALKS Gob: “Last night I had an awful pain in my arms.” Ditto: “Who was she?” DAD’S PROBLEM “How many controls has your radio?” “Two. My wife and my daughter. * HE’LL LEARN An electrician was working on an emergency wiring job. Turning to the apprentice who was helping him, he said, “Say, Bill, take hold of the end of that wire.” “All right.” “Feel anything?” “No.” “Well, then don’t touch the other one. It’s got over 5,000 volts.” NOT WORRIED Fire broke out in a large hotel in which there were many guests. They were all awakened and hurried out as quickly as possible. One of the last guests to leave the hotel was a man who was very proud of his iron nerves. He walked up to the other guests and said, “I was not the least bit excited. I washed and combed and dressed and smoked a cigarette. There was no cause for excitement.” A listener said to him, “Well, why don’t you put on your pants?” HIS METHOD In the American advance during the final days of the war, a sergeant ordered an unbleached private to go into a dugout and clean out any Germans that happened to be there. The colored gentleman blanched a bit, swallowed his Adam’s apple, and then said huskily, “Ef yo’ sees three o’ fo’ men come runnin’ out o’ dat hole’ don’t shoot de fust one!” \ . WAS SHE THE DRAGON?. A tramp knocked on the door of the inn known as “John and the Dragon.” The landlady opened the door and the tramp greeted her: “Could you spare a poor, hungry man a bite to eat?” “No!” and she slammed the door. A few minutes later the tramp knocked again. The landlady once more opened the door. “Could I have a few words with John?” asked the tramp, grinning sheepishly.
