OVERDOING IT
The Negro was charged with steal
ing chickens from a neighbor. The
judge asked him if he had anything
to say.
“Ah sure has," said the accused.
“When Ah stole dat first chicken,
mah conscience begins to bother me
somethin’ terrible. So de nex’ day,
Ah came back and apologized to de
owner—and he done forgive me.”
(i “Yes, yes,” snapped the judge,
“but then you hurried straight back
to the hen coop and stole another
chicken. How do you explain that?”
The defendant scratched his head.
he said, “it’s dis way.
When Ah went to apologize, Ah
made a mistake. Ah done apolo
gized fo’ two chickens instead of
one!”

Horns of a Dilemma
Two young men were driving
along a narrow street when a po
liceman halted them.
“You can’t come down here,” he
snapped. “One-way street.”
The driver of the car began to
turn down a side-turning.
“Can’t go there, either,” was the
official comment. “No left-hand
turn.”
“But which way can we go?”
asked the bewildered driver. Then
as the policeman made no reply, he
turned to his mate and asked:
j “What shall we do, Bert?”
j “Scuttle ’er!” came the prompt
i retort.

Perfect Alibi
Mrs.—Just look at the dust on the
piano, Mary. It’s at least six months
i old.
Mary—Then it ain't got nothing
to do with me, ma’am. I’ve only
been here four weeks.
No Family Picnics
Jimmy—Does your mother have
trouble with ants?
Tommy—No, we have a very
small family.
Soldier’s Sweetheart
Private—Meet my sister, ser
geant.
Sarge—lt’s a pleasure. She used
to be mine.

Alice—Why don’t you say some
thing nice to me?
Aleck—Zero, zero, zero, zero.
Alice—What’s that mean?
Aleck—Sweet nothings to you!
Simple
Nit—Why is the most discontented
man the most easily satisfied?
Wit—l dunno. Why?

Skinny—No! You look more like
a big tub to me.
