14 FRATERNITY LET’S SMILE A bright little girl, returning from school, was asked by her father what she had been learning that morning. “All of us have been learning to spell”, said she. “What did you learn to spell?” “Learned to spell rat.” “Well, how do you spell it?” !‘R-A-T—rat.” “Now, how do you spell mouse?” “Just the same”, said the little maid, “only in little smaller letters.” ★ ★ ★ Two men, fishing on a Sunday morning, were feeling pretty guilty. One said to the other: “I suppose we should have stayed home and gone to church.” To which the other replied lazily: “Heck, I couldn’t have gone to church anyway. My wife’s sick in bed.” ★ ★ ★ “Why don’t you ever get to work on time?” growled the fashion photographer. Answered the mannequin: “I’m a late model.” ★ ★ ★ A judge was hearing a wife’s charges of assault and battery against her mate. “After he struck you”, she was asked, “did he express any regret?” “No, sir”, was the reply, “he didn’t say a word before the ambulance took him away.” ★ ★ ★ The gas distribution company in a small college town inserted the following ad in the local newspaper: “Wanted: Hard-boiled, beauty-proof man to read meters in sorority houses. We haven’t made a dollar there in two years.” ★ ★ ★ An Indian petitioned a judge of an Arizona court to give him a shorter name. “What is your name now?” asked the judge. “Chief Screeching Train Whistle”, said the Indian. “And to what do you wish to shorten it?” asked the judge. The Indian folded his arms majestically and grunted, “Toots.” ★ ★ ★ A Hollywood starlet who was more beautiful than brainy visited friends one day and asked to be shown through their new greenhouse. Pausing a moment before one plant, she asked its name. “It belongs to the Begonia family”, was the host’s answer. “Oh”, gushed the beauty, “how nice of you to look after it while they’re away.” ★ ★ ★ “This is a holdup!” said the thug. “Give me your money or else.” “Or else what?” demanded the victim. “Don’t confuse me”, begged the thug. “This is my first job.”
