HUMOR
Jeremiah Ezekiel James lived in the
same house for more than 50 years. One
day, to the consternation of the whole
town, he moved into the house next
door. A reporter was sent to interview
him, because this was real news.
“What caused you to move, Mr.
James?” asked the reporter.
“Wa-a-1,” replied the old fellow re
flectively, “I guess it’s just the gypsy in
with that crazy guy?”
Doctor: “The hospital is crowded. Is
he troublesome?”
Patient: “I’ll say. Just keeps looking
around saying, ‘No lions, no tigers, no
elephants’—and all the time the room is
full of them.”
Auto Salesman: (Seeking information
after making a sale) “What was the one
dominant thing that made you buy this
car?”
Purchaser: “My wife.”
“Just think,” said the missionary to a
group of children. “In Africa there are
six million square miles where little
I boys and girls have no Sunday School.
Now what should we strive to save our
money for?”
“To go to Africa!” cried a chorus of
cheerful voices.
Visitor: “I can’t tell you how delight
ed I am, Mrs. Giles. My son, Reggie has
won a scholarship.”
Farmer’s Wife: “I can understand
your feelings, ma’am. I felt just the
same when our pig won a medal at the
state fair.”
Patient: “Why stick me in the room
It’s usually the part that doesn’t fit
that does the squeaking.—-Circle-News.

graph records, and it didn’t do me any
harm, any harm, any harm....”
