BUNNY HOP?
There was an old rabbit that
lived in Brier Creek. No one knew
how old he really was. One day,
some rabbit reporters came to in
terview him.
“Mr. Rabbit, how old are you?”
asked one bunny.
“Oh, I’m very old.”
“Do you know why you have
outlived your friends?” asked the
other bunny reported. “Do you do
anything unusual?”
“Well, I always take a bath in
beer. You might call that unusual.”
“Croodness, please tell us why
you always take a bath in beer,’
asked the first reporter.
“Why it gives me a few more
hops,” replied the old rabbit.

WHOLESALE ANNIHILATION
“I ate a worm,” said the young
ster in the kindergarten.
The teacher, thinking that the
child had perhaps really done
such a thing, gave the tot a long
sermon on the evils of eating
worms and finished her argument
with the point, “Why, just think,”
she said, “how badly the mama
worm felt to have her little baby
eaten np.”
To which the child replied, *‘I
ate she’s mama, too.”
TOO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT
“Why did you shoot the man’s
dog?” asked the judge. “I under
stand the animal was perfectly
quiet and never disturbed anyone.”
“That’s right,” admitted the
culprit. “Pve never heard him

looked as if he was just going to
He’d come out into the yard a doz

porch, and go to sleep. No, he nev

killing me.”

“Yes,” answered the witness.
“Did you actually see him take

“No.”
“Did you actually see him gam

“No.”
“Then how could you possibly

“I’ll say it is,” was the reply.
“I’ve got an addition to the fam

“Really?” said the stranger.
“Congratulations.”
