HOW TO WRITE JOKES @ Reading Jokes


 Reading Jokes
 Pick up a newspaper and before you have gone through 1t you should have acquired good number of jokes. You will be surprised to learn what treasury of material a news- paper contains.
 Leads, cue. clues and tips can be worked out by the process mention- ed in our two previous lessons. You will not only find lunches for jokes. but you will find humorous adver- tisements and homely local items all published with seriousness.
 Read a publishers advertisement praising a book called "The Quick and tSe Dead" Mother, has that book anything to do with the prohi- bition movement?" Jimmie, what book are you referring to?" "oh. that one about The Kick and the Dead" Here are the racing results and we look down the Havana chart for something. We have found a nugget. A horse by the name of Solomon's Kits finished second in one of the races. Lost by bare margin. perhaps"
 And so we read and read always with view toturning every thing we read into a joke. Later on 1t will get to be habit and jokes will come naturally. for your mind is primed to attract them. For todays lesson read this paper with jokes in mind.
