BY A WISE
OWL |
Did you hear about the one |
fingered pickpocket who could |
steal only life savers
“Good morning, Mrs. McCar. |
thy,” said the doctor. “And did |
you take husband's tem
perature, as I told you?”
your
“Yes, doctor. I borrowed a
vol
parometer and placed it on his |
chest; it said ‘very dry’, so 1
bought him a quart of beer and |
he’s gone back to work.”
That must have been the right]
prescription.
I saw this sign in a country
store near Columbia: “If
they drop the atom bomb, stand
as close as you can to the cus-
pidor. Nokody's ever hit it yet.”
A little bov on Barbara Street |
had been climbing the tree in
the vard. For the second
time that day, he came in with
his trousers torn
“Go upstairs and mend them
yourself.” his mother ordered.

Some time later, repenting
somewhat, she went up to see
how he was getting along. His
trousers were thrown on his
bed, but there was no sign of |
her child. Puzzled, she . came |
down stairs and noticer the |
cellar door, which was usually
kept closed, was open. She
stuck her head in the door and
called angrily, “Are you run
ning around down there with-
out any pants on?”
“No, lady,” said a deep voice,
"I'm reading the gas meter.”

After reading Sunday's
Philadelphia paper about a fel
low that going on a safari to Af-
rica I recalled the new method
of catching elephants that re-
quires a piece of paper, a milk
bottle, a pair of tweezers, and
binoculars. Go to the elephant]
country, find a pool of water
and write on the paper: ‘For
Elfants.” When the other eleph
ants come up to drink, they will
see that their name spelled
wrong and start laughing. When
the other elephants
laughing they will come up
see what they laughing a-
bout.
At that point you look at the
elephants through the wrong
end of the binoculars. The ele-
phants look so small that you
pick them up with tweezers and
put them in the milk bottle.

Stopping my car near a moun-

called to an old woman sitting
on the porch, “How far is it to
the nearest town?”
“Pa figgers hit's about 10
miles thar and about 12 back,’
she answered. ‘Which ac-
count of him walkin’ straighter
goin’ than comin’.”
A local business man dashed
away on a plane to meet a busi-
ness engagement and then rem
embered he had not. made his
wife a present for her birthday
coming up soon. So he sent her
a note enclosing ‘a check for
Dne Million Kisses. The follow-
