FRATERNITY 11 LET’S SMILE Mrs. Newlywed inveigled her husband into a shopping trip. Once she got him into a downtown store, she wangled a mink jacket “Well”, the dazed husband inquired, when they were on the street again, “what do we do now?” “Now”, said Mrs. Newlywed, firmly, “I’m going to save you some money. We’ll take the bus home.” ★ ★ ★ The man in the insane asylum sat fishing in a flower bed. A visitor, wishing to be friendly, approached and said, “How many have you caught today?” “You’re the ninth”, he replied. ★ ★ ★ An Indian living in Arizona entered the local office of Internal Revenue to get some help in filling out his income tax. “How much was your income last year?” asked the clerk. “Ugh”, said the Indian. “How many dependents did you have?” the clerk tried again. “Ugh”, replied the Indian. The interview continued along this line with each answer to the clerk’s question being, “Ugh”. “Look”, finally snorted the clerk. “You’ll have to give me these facts. It may work out that the Government will owe you a refund.” “Ah”, said the Indian. “How much?” ★ ★ ★ A woman who runs a nursery school was delivering a station-wagon load of youngsters to their homes one day when a fire engine zoomed past. Sitting on the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children fell to discussing the dog’s duties. “They use him to keep the crowds back”, said one five-year-old. “No”, said another, “he’s just for good luck.” A third child brought the argument to an end. “They use the dog”, he said firmly, “to find the fire plug!” ★ ★ ★ One morning a businessman’s secretary was showing off her stunning new tailored suit, a birthday present from her parents. Her boss stopped to admire it and then went on into his private office to greet a client who was waiting to see him. “Sorry to keep you waiting”, he told the client, “but I was just admiring my secretary in her birthday suit.” ★ ★ ★ Family ties are pretty wonderful — except when the donors expect you to wear them in public. ★ ★ ★ “Whatever made you marry an archaeologist?” one woman asked another as they met on the street. “Don’t you have to live in strange places?” — “It’s very simple, my dear”, was the reply. “The older I «et, the more interested he becomes in me.”
