JOKES--Continued.Hartwig Mottier was reading one of his themeswith great gusto. The theme described the ravages madeby a hungry lion upon a boys camp. Suddenly the classbegan to laugh. Hartwig stopped in surprise, and on beingasked to read the mirth-causing passage, he repeated some-thing like the following:And when the boys came back to camp, they foundthat none of their provisions were left except the bonesof the bacon.* * * *Frank Lindsay (entering barber-shop) : No, I desirenot a hair-cut, as the vulgar term it. But if you have anyapplication that will increase the longitudinal dimensionsof my hair, I beg of you to use it.(Exit barber and bootblack.)* * * *Miss Ray: Theodore, give the Latin word for whatyou do before you marry.Theodore: I dont know. How often do you think Ihave been married.* * * *Frank Lindsay: Well, Miss Ray, how are all thefolks?Miss Ray: Just fine, thank you. How are your folks,and especially your brother?Frank L.: Ah! and hows your younger sister?Laurens Strain, a burly Freshman, got lost the firstday he was in B. H. S. Prof. Ramsey, missing him, calledto him. He answered, but said he could not find his waydown.Come down the way you went up, explained Prof.Ramsey.Begorra, I came up head first, answered Laurens.* * * *Mr. Minnick was talking about a long proposition inGeometry. Whats the matter, Mamie, he said at last,Dont you understand it?Mamie answered, Yes, I understand, but you frownedabout it so much that I just frowned, too.Aint it the truth?* * * *Miss Williams (reading Scotts Hunting Song): “La-des and lordies gay (Lords and ladies gay).(A hungry-looking Junior said this was funny, and alsoadded that Miss Williams laughed for about six minutesat her mistake, so we thought it ought to go in the Gothic.)* * * *On Algebra examination day the teacher lent WalterBell and Frank Ranard some cross-section paper, whichthey were to pay back soon.The next Wednesday, when they got their cards, Frankand Walter said, You have not put our grades down.Mr. McCaughan: I receive my pay in advance.Page Sixty-nine |
