The boy stood on the burning deck
Poised on danger’s brink,
With brow uplift, he cooly stood
And watched the kitchen sink.

Women’s faults are many,
Men have only two—
Everything they say,
And everything they da.

If your old lady wants to know the
height of modesty you can just tell

for a proper answer.

Say, did ya ever hear the story
about the elderly lady who died of
shock after seeing the size of fig

one anyhow.

We noticed the following inscrip
tion on the side of a can of Flit—
“This insecticide will not injure
children or other household pets.” We
can’t figure that one out, can you?
Maybe they meant “petters” ?
He He He
A minister of a rural community,
motoring home one day from a round
of visits, overtook a girl plodding
along a country road, carrying a
heavy basket of provisions.
Recognizing her as a servant em
ployed by a farmer living near his
parsonage, he pulled up and offered
her a lift. When she came to the lane
leading to the farm, he stopped to let
her get down, and she said: “Oh
thank you, sir.”
“Don’t mention it,” replied the min
ister.
The girl blushed prettily, hung her
head, then looked up archly. “AJ1
right,” she said, “mum’s the word.”

It was a clear and frosty night
When sparkling snow was seen
Yet all was warm and hearts were
light
Inside Jack’s limousine.
He was slouching at the wheel,
And she was by his side
So close he couldn’t help but feel
For once, that looks had lied.
Yet Jane seemed as serene and cold
Just like the driven snow,
In fact the boys, so Jack was told
Had all pronounced her slow.
He tossed away his cigarette
He stopped the engine dead
With thoughts perhaps that Jane
would pet
He tilted up her head.
What happened then, he’ll always
keep
A secret from his brothers
