Page 8 THE LEXHIPEP February 25, 1949 A. Sapp’s Fibbles By A. SAPP Marriage is something a woman tries when the wolf whistles get farther and farther apart. Newspapers are like women. They have forms, back numbers are not in demand, they are well worth looking over, they have a great deal of in fluence, you can’t believe everything they say, there’s small demand for the bold face type, and they’re much thinner now. FAMOUS LAST WORDS: Remind me to have these brakes checked— tomorrow. A good letter, like a woman’s skirt, should be long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest. Any girls looking for a thrill should kiss a man with hiccoughs. Love starts when she sinks in your arms and ends with her arms in the sink.

Of all the silly, vicious rumors! Oh, it’s true we had an argument and I shot him—but that’s as far as it ever went. In the sophomore English Class Miss Sugg was discussing etiquette. When she finished, she asked Herbert Sink how he would ask a girl to dance. Herbert replied: “Come on, worm; let’ wiggle!” Blonde: That husband of mine is a worm, if I ever saw one. Redhead: He certainly is; I just saw a chicken pick him up. The post-war let-down—women’s skirts. “A-hem.” Jones was sitting with his wife behind a palm on a hotel veranda late one night, when a young man and a girl came and sat down on the bench near them. The young man began to tell the girl how pretty she was. Hidden behind the palm, Mrs. Jones whispered to her husband: “Oh John, he doesn’t know we’re here and he’s going to propose—whistle to warn him. What for? ’ asked Jones.
