HUMOR GOOD SPEECH “A good speach is like a mini-skirt, short enough to be interesting and only long enough to cover the subject.” + The actuary was trying to set the new agent straight: “Why on earth did you write a policy on a 98 year old man?” “Because the census report says only a few people of that age died each year.” RUSSIAN JOKES “Soon we will be able to travel to Mars, to Pluto, to Venus ...” a Professor told his Russian students. “Are there any questions”? A student on the back of the class raised his hand and asked: “When can we travel to Vienna”? + The newspaper Pravda is running a contest for the best political joke: First prize: 20 years. HOW BIG IS A BILLION? If you gave your wife $1 million and told her to go out and spend $100.00 a day, she would be back from her shopping spree in less than 30 years. But if you gave her 1 billion to spend at $1,000 a day, you wouldn’t see her for 2,700 years. + A man confided to his friend that life was empty: “The woman I love has just refused my proposal of marriage.” “Well, don’t let that get you down,” comforted the friend. “A woman’s ‘no’ often means ‘yes’.” “She didn’t say ‘no’,” was the answer, ‘she said ‘phooey’.” + A college student was undergoing his physical examination at the Army induction station. “I’ll whisper a number from the other side of the room,” said the doctor. “If you hear it, please repeat the number to me.” The physician then shouted at the top of his voice “Sixty-eight.” The sound was so loud the inductee winced. But after he thought a minute he said, “Forty- three.” “That’s close enough,” said the doctor. T-A.” BRING PEACEFUL DAYS Bring peaceful days, O Infant Year Bring noble thoughts within our life: Instead of ancient war and strife Bring Golden Rule, not rule of fear. Bring love of home and hearthside bright; Bring lasting faith and changeless love; With visions of that Home above: Bring less of wrong and more of right. Bring healing to the heart and mind; The joy of sunshine’s golden ray: Bring hope, inspired, on each new day; Bring peaceful days and thoughts more kind. — Tennyson, Maud. THE PEAKS OF LIFE A heart that never knew a pain Is like a land without a rain, Is like a land that never knows A springtime flood, or summer rose. So let us thank our God for this, Our Maytime, our December, The first embrace, the parting kiss, The things that we remember. The day with neither rain nor sun Brought never flowers to anyone. Thank God for joy, and grief, and strife; We live upon the peaks of life. 12
