THE LAUGH CORNER Lawyer; Well, if you want my honest opinion— Client: No, no. I want your pro fessional advice. Heard in an English air-raid shelter during World War II: “It there a macintosh in here that’s large enough to keep two young ladies warm?” “No, but there’s a McPherson who’s willing to try,” was the re ply from the dark corner. It was little Bobby’s first day starting to school. He started brave ly out the gate, then came back to his weeping mother, put his arms around her, and said, “Don’t cry, mom, maybe I’ll be deferred and not even have to go.” The story was told to four-year old Charles about a little boy who had exciting adventures. When the story was finished, Charles asked, ■“But where was the boy’s mother?” “The story didn’t mention his mother, so perhaps he didn’t have a mother. Maybe she was dead.” Charles commented dramatical ly, “I’ll bet she was killed in a nervous wreck.” Butler: Sorry, but Madame says she is sorry she is not at home. Visitor: That’s all right. Tell her I’m awfully glad I didn’t call. One of those high pressure sales men was doing a house to house canvass by telephone. “Hello,” answered an obviously small boy. “Let me speak to your mother or father,” the salesman request ed brusquely! “They’re not home,” said the small boy. “Is there anyone else there I can talk to?” inquired the salesman. “My sister,” came the reply. "Well put her on,” said the sales man. There ensued a long silence, then the little boy’s voice finally came back on the phone, “I can’t lift her out of the playpen.” One sheep meeting another said, ~Baaa.” “Moo, Moo,” replied the other sheep. “What the heck’s the matter with you,” said the first sheep, “have you gone nuts?” “Indeed not,” haughtily replied the second sheep, “I’m majoring in foreign languages.” Her dress was rayon, her coat was orlon, her stockings were ny lon . . . nobody was going to pull the wool over her eyes. Only occasionally do teachers get a good look into the minds of pu pils. Such an insight (sometimes blinding) came to a friend who had just finished telling her class that the Spaniards drove the Moors and Jews out of Spain in 1492. Deeply impressed, one of her students inquired, “Teacher, was that the same 1492 when Columbus discovered America?” A Scot and an Irishman were ar guing as to the merits of their fam ilies. The Scot had the floor first: “l tell ye, laddie, I’m sprung from the best stock in the world—from the stock of kings of Scotland. I’ve got royal blood in my veins. An’ what stock are you sprung from?” “I eome from the Caseys.” said the Irishman simply. “They niver sprung from nobody—they sprung at ’em!” Preacher: And when I get through with my sermon I’ll ask those of the congregation who want to contribute $5 toward the mort gage on the church to stand up. In the meantime you play appropriate music. Organist: What do you mean, ap propriate music? Preacher: You play “The Star Spangled Banner”.
