The Comparison A teacher was explaining the difference between the stately rose and the modest violet. “A rose,” she said, “is like a beautiful, richly-gowned woman, so proud she doesn t speak to anyone. But behind her is a small creature with bowed head—” “Yes, miss,” interrupted Tommy. “That’s her husband.” * * * li . J His Turn A business man visited his banker the other day and asked, “Are you worried about whether I can meet my note next month?” “Yes, I am,” confessed the banker. “Good,” said the client. »That’s what I’m paying you Six per cent for.” * * * t\ Good News f A timid little man crept up to the inspector’s desk in the police station: Timid Little Man (shyly): My wife has disappeared, inspector. Inspector: When? Timid Little Man: Two weeks ago. Inspector: Why didn’t you come to us before? Timid Little Man: I just couldn’t believe it, sir. * * * Who’s Boss Young Husband (to wife) —Didn’t I telegraph you not to bring your mother with you? Young Wife—I know; that’s what she wants to see you about. She read the telegram. * * * Right! “Where are some good places to stop on this trip?” asked the prospective automobile tourist. “At all railroad crossings,” replied the clerk in the tourist bureau. * * * The honeymoon is over it she phones she has had a wreck and he asks: “Is the car damaged?” * * * If He Can Aviation Student: “What happens, sir, when the parachute fails to open?” Tough Sarge: “You come back, son, and I’ll give you a new one.” * * * Ain’t it the truth? Just about the time you think you can make ends meet, someone moves the ends. * * * Bright Children Teacher (brightly): “As we walk out-of-doors on a cold winter’s morning and look about us, what do we see on every hand?” Class (as a man): “Gloves!” * * * “The modern girl is anything but fast,” says a writer. “Why, she often takes as much as thirty years to reach twenty-five.” * * * Drugs on the Market She: “Henry, dear, we’ve been going together now for more than ten years. Don’t you think we ought to get married?” He: “Yes, you’r right—but who’ll have us?” * * Í: Cancel It An angry woman rushed into the clerk’s office. In her hand she bore a license. To the clerk she said: “Did you, or did you not, issue this license for marrying me to Albert Briggs?” “Yes, I believe I did. Why?” “Well, what are you going to do about it? He’s escaped.” * H: * All the Same “I wouldn’t insult you by saying that you were large,” cooed a woman to a portly friend, “I’d simply say that whether your are coming or going, sideways, or revolving, you look all the same.” Heart Warming “I’m afraid, Oliver, you do not love me any more—at least, not so much as you used to.” “Why?” “Because you always let me get up to light the fire now.” “Nonsense, my dear. Your getting up to light the fire makes me love you all the more.” Overstay! O v e r s t a y—Goodness, is that clock right? Sally—Oh, no. That’s the one we always call “The Visitor.” Overstay—“The Visitor?” What a curious name to give a clock.” Sally (subtly)—We call it that because we can never make it go.
