$Page 12 Verhovayak Lapja November 28, 1940 THE: HUMOROUS VEIN: Suggested Course Tired after a hard day, a distinguished CongTessman in Washington handed the menu back to the waiter and Kaid: “Just bring me a good meal.” A good meal was served and the Congressman gave the waiter a generous tip. “Thank yo’, suh,” the waiter said. “And if yo’ got any frien’s what can’t read, yo»’ jus, send ’em to me, suh!” * * * Ice Breaker Slippery ice—very thin; Pretty girl—tumbled in. Saw a fellow on the bank; Gave a shriek—then she sank. Boy on hand—heard her shout; Jumped right in—pulled her out. Now he’s hers—very nice, But she had to break the ice! * * ♦ The fond mother wrote to her son, who was on military service: “I hope that you have now learned to get up punctually every morning, so that you do not keep the whole battalion waiting for breakfast.” * * * “There was a little lawyer man, Who gently smiled as he began Her dear husband’s will to scan. And, thinking of his coming fee, He said to her quite tenderly: ‘You have a nice fat legacy.’ Next morning as he lay in bed, With plasters on his broken head, He wondered what he had said.” —SoCanSan Piper. * * * It seems that the gate broke down between heaven and hell. St. Peter appeared at the broken part of the gate and called out to the devil: “Hey, Satan! It’s your turn to fix it this time.” “Sorry,” replied the boss of the land beyond the styx. “My men are too busy to worry about fixing a mere gate.” “Well, then,” scowled St. Peter, “I’ll have to sue you for breaking our agreement.” “Oh, yeah!” retorted the Devil. “Where are you going to get a lawyer?”—Just for Fun. ♦ * * An Open Case A negro woman was standing on the street watching a circus parade. One of the pickaninnies looked up and said: “Mammy, yo’ mouf’s open.” To which she replied sternly: “Yas, I know it. I done left it open mahself.” * * * Salesman: “I represent the Mountain Wool Company, ma’am. Would you be interested in some coarse yarns?” She: “Gosh, yes! Tell me a couple.”—San Jesters. * * * “I won’t get married until I find a girl like grandpa married.” “Huh! They don’t make them like that these days.” “That’s funny. He only married her yesterday.”— Loyalty Group. Missed His Schooling Pa: “It’s a terrible thing. Í sold my car and mortgaged my house and land, just to send my son to the university. And all he does there is smoke, dance and take girls out to parties.” Neighbor: “Oh, so you’re regretting it, eh?” Pa: “You’re dern tooting. I should have gone myself!” Jumping Jupiter Mr. Kangaroo: “Susie, where’s the baby?”Mrs. Kangaroo: “Good heavens! My pocket’s been picked!” LITTLE JULIUS SNEEZER SOUNO HAN- bo YOU KNOW I THAT I'M ONÉ OP THf | greatest cornet , I FLAYERS iN 7«*» COUNTRY' r T—J BY BAKER STARS ON PARADE By TONI ROSSETT 'ÜXiwrtlwnujhen WALLACE BEERY/ RAN AWAY FROM HOME WHEN HE WAS A YOUTH AND JOINED UP WITH A CIRCUS AND BECAME A WATER CARRIER FOR.
