A QUESTION FOR YOU

Our sense of humor is pro-
gressive. When we were
children, it didn't take much
in the line of a joke or sup
posed joke to make us
laugh.
We recall, when we were
a boy of five Eyes, Horatius,
two or three gallons of wa
ter have gone over Niagara
since that time), seeing a
clown in Shields circus in
Jackson Square pulling a
large handkerchief out of
his back pocket to wipe his
face. The handkerchief had
a hole in it large enough for
one to stick ones head
through, and the clown OBJ
served:
"Hunh, they must have
b cen throwing coconuts
through it"
What a joke that was to
our mind of five! How we
chuckled and how we laugh
ed
In the line of throwing,
The Citizen, instead of say
ing horseshoe throwing, IN
advertently left out the
shoe, and said horse-throw-
ing, and what a joke that
was! It was considered so
good by a Miami paper it
ran a cartoon to illustrate
the joke.
Yes. it does not take
much to amuse us when we
are children. But when we
grow up, we are more exact
ing. Let US consider the lit
tie matter Of so-called radio
comedians. From New York
to Hollywood and from the
Canadian to the Mexican
border, we get the same
tvna of trine. day in and day
out.
Fifty years ago, when we
arrived in New York, the
revolving door joke was as
dead as the proverbial door
nail, though Dickens main
tanned a doornail was very
much alive. Now, he added,
if you said coffin nail, he
would have been inclined to
agree with you.
But to return to the re-
volving door joke that was
as dead as a doornail so
years ago. Sunday night, in
this. year of our Lord 1916,
Edgar Bergen, in his Char
lie Mccarthy show, res
rected the revolving dog
joke.
But Edgar is no worse
than the general run of So
called comedians. For years
they have been adhering to
the same formula - an or
chestra, a song or two, a
guest star and horse-throWEs
ing Jokes. None of the
seems able to give us ah
thing new, so they cram the
old down our ears, and how
some of us chuckle and
laugh!
So there you have it. Use
your own yardstick on your
own sense of humor. Do you
get a chuckle out of the CO.
conuts going through the
handkerchief or that horse
