FRATERNITY 11 LET’S SMILE The baseball scout reported on a rookie: “He bats, throws and shaves right-handed.” ★ ★ ★ Wife to frowning husband holding cancelled checks in his hand: “You mean the bank saves all the checks I write and sends them to you? What a sneaky thing to do!” ★ ★ ★ In the supermarket a man was pushing a cart which contained a screaming, yelling, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly: “Don’t get excited, Albert; don’t scream, Albert; keep calm, Albert.” A woman standing next to him said, “You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your son Albert.” The man looked at her and said, “Lady, I’m Albert.” ★ ★ ★ Ma: “Pa, I don’t think the neighbors like the drum we got Jimmy for his birthday.” “Why?” asked Pa. Ma: “They gave him a knife and asked him if he knew what was in the drum?” ★ ★ ★ Imagination is what makes you think you’re having a wonderful time when you’re really only spending money. ★ ★ ★ AIM CAREFULLY, DEAR!! A woman whose husband is an insurance agent reports that he let her take the wheel once on their motor tour. It so happened that the brakes failed going down a hill. “What will I do, I can’t stop”, she yelled. “Brace yourself and aim for something cheap”, advised her hubby. ★ ★ ★ “For the last time”, shouted the sergeant, “I ask you a simple question. What is a fortification?” The recruits remained silent. In desperation the sergeant glared at what he thought was the most intelligent looking man and demanded an answer. But the answer was a corker: “A fortification is two twentifications.” ★ ★ ★ At the box office of a Broadway hit a customer was told: “Only standing room left.” “How much?” he queried. “$1.20 and $1.80”, was the reply. “What’s the difference?” “The difference is- For $1.80 you can lean!”
