Two business men were riding
in the subway, sitting side by side,
saying nothing but looking very
worried. After many minutes, one
of them heaved a long and deep
sigh. The other looked at him for
a moment, and said, “You’re tell

After giving the private at an
army camp a dressing down for
being so late in returning with
the supplies, the sergeant de
manded, “Okay, let’s hear how it
happened. Miller.”
“Well, I picked up a chaplain
along the road,” explained the
woe-begOne rookie, “and from then
on, the mules couldn't understand
a word I said.”

come up?”
“Oh, ye gods!” groaned the sea
sick woman, “has that got to come j
up, too ?”
