FRATERNITY 11 ON THE LIGHTER SIDE A few weeks after getting $1,000 compensation for the loss of her jewelry, an elderly lady wrote to the insurance company and told them she had found the missing jewelry in the cupboard. “I didn’t think it would be fair to keep both the jewels and the money”, she wrote, “so I thought you would be pleased to know that I have given the $1,000 to the Red Cross.” ★ ★ ★ The teacher asked a class, discussing the North American Indian, if anyone could tell what the leaders of the tribes were called. “Chiefs”, said a little girls. “Correct”, said the teacher. “And what were the women called?” A sharp little lad answered promptly, “Mischiefs”. ★ ★ ★ Foreigner (in drug store): No, I wanted the small size. Clerk: In America, sir, there are only three sizes — Large, Giant and Super. If you want small, take the large. ★ ★ ★ The baby sardine was happily swimming in the ocean near his mother when he saw his first submarine and was terribly frightened. “Don’t worry, dear”, assured his mother, “it’s just a can of people.” ★ ★ ★ Teen-Age Singer: Now, what do you think of my voice? Accompanist: Brother, I’ve played the white keys, I’ve played the black keys — but you’re the first one I ever heard who could sing in the cracks.

ITWOULDLOOKLIKETHISIFEVERYBODYBROUGHTSOMEBODYELSE.” ★ ★ ★ The final atomic blast reduced the earth to a mass of rubble. The last survivor, a chimpanzee, slowly emerged from his cave, rubbing his eyes and looking around. A few days later a female chimp emerged from another cave. “Say, do you have anything to eat?” asked the male chimp. Without saying a word, the female returned to her cave and came out with an apple. The male took one look at it and screamed: “Oh, no, you’re not going to start THAT all over again!” ★ ★ ★ “Well, doctor, was my operation a success?” “Who’s a doctor? I’m St. Peter.”
