When"
HEYWooD
Old Haywood Snugg, the
EinStein of Lower Glade, says
that the reason he hasn't ris-
en- to greater heights in this
cruel world is simply because
he has never been able to de-
eide whether to be a leader of
men or a follower of women.
Big Nancy, shy of nature
as that of a dispeptic giraffe,
said as she went down for the
third time - that Haywood
has been taking too many
ugly pills"
JOKE
Pedro Gonzales, the little
Mexican, was slipping catus
Squeezings at a cantina when
a friend came up and told
him that he had seen
strange man making love to
Pedro's wife.
Pedro inquired, WAS he
tall man with a light purple
sombrero and a dark green
serape?"
The friend said, Eyes, and
he had big jug of beer un-
der his armw
DO not worry, my fre'n'
said Pedro, that is Pancho
he make love to anybody"
HUMNN!
Read in a magazine that a
single alligator can have as
many as 25,OO0 offspring in
lifetime. The article didn't say
how many married one can
have.
oDDITY
One of the strangest feel
ings a person can have comes
from finding out that someone
we admire doesn't like us -
and also when we find that
someone we dislike thinks we
are great. These are the times
when good friends could be
made but seldom are.
WIMMIN
On some women there is
darned little slack in their
slackS.
TICK
Best clock we ever owned
was one which could do an
hour in as minutes flat. in
this way we have been able
to live an 8 and three-quarter
day week!
LIVING
Some people seem to think
that the way to make the
grade is to go in for a high
powered automobile and ride
up.
And to a lumber-jack, going
into town on Saturday night
is the difference between a
lack and a lass!
VIEWPOINT
The viewpoint is the thing
and to show you that sense
of humor may or may not be
a liability we cite the follow
ing:
A husband came home late
one night and his wife met
him at the door with look of
sheer hatred in her eyes.
Now don't tell me that you
were detained at the office"
she Kissed.
mo, my dear, I was chased
seven blocks out of my way
by a water buffalo!" said he.
Patient is doing as well as
can be expected.

Doctor told a woman that
the best way to cure her hus-
band of his drinking habits
was to make him king" at
home. Treat him with re-
spect - baby him if neces-
sary = and by all means
pamper him a little, said the
doc.
When old Roscoe rolled in
that evening, his wife filled
his pipe, put on his slippers
and fixed him a big Dagwood
AT bedtime she said, Are you
sleepy, honey? It's time for

Old Roscoe opened one
bleary eye and replied =
