“Why, the idea! The average man
always kisses me on the hand.”
“Maybe so, but I ’m away above

An old Scotsman was smoking in
the waiting room of a railway sta­
tion. A porter said to him: “ Don’t
you see that notice on the wall, *No
Smoking Allowed’?”
“ Yes, I do,” said the Scot, “but
how can I keep all your rules? There’s
another on the wall, *Wear Janella
Corsets'.”

“ My girl has such funny habits

O laf Swanson, fresh from the Old
Country, moved to a small western
city and set up a painting and decor­
ating business.
His first job was that of painting
the interior of a little house which
the newly-wedded Mr. and Mrs. M il­
ler had recently moved into. Olaf
went at his work diligently and at
the end of the day had completed
about half of the job. Upon leaving
he warned Mrs. Miller against touch­
ing the fresh paint which would re­
quire several hours in which to dry.
Mrs. Miller assured him she would be
careful and would also caution her
husband when he returned from his
office.
But when Mr. Miller arrived a few
minutes later he accidentally brushed
his hand against the bedroom wood­
work before his wife could warn him
of the wet paint.
Very much upset over the finger­
marks which showed plainly on the
painted surface, Mrs. Miller rushed
to meet O laf when he arrived at the
house on the following morning.
“ Oh, Mr. Swanson!” she cried.
“ Come in here. I want to show you
where my husband put his hand last
night.”
O laf stroked his chin and pondered
for a moment.
Finally, grinning broadly, he re­
plied: “ No, lady. I yust come here
to paint.”

“Ah, me proud beauty, I ’d give my
life for another kiss from you.”
“And I ’d let you have another, if
I had a life to give.”

When a guy hitch-hikes he tramps
along looking for a little ride, but
when he joy rides, he rides along
looking for a little tramp.

“When I visited the theater back­
stage, one of the stage-hands for a
prank locked me up with the chorus
girls in their dressing room.”
“Did you settle with him after you
were let out?”
“Yes, I gave him a hundred dol­
lars.”
