paper cutter
“What are you cutting out of the paper?”
“About a California man securing a divorce because his wife went
through his pockets.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“Put it in my pocket.”
Few Female Statues
“How very few statues there are of real women.”
“Yes! it’s hard to get them to look right.”
“How so?”
“A woman remaining still and saying nothing doesn’t seem true to life.”
Worm Food
A country girl was home from college for the Christmas holidays and
the old folks were having a reception in her honor. During the event
she brought out some of her new gowns to show to the guests. Picking
up a beautiful silk creation she held it up before the admiring crowd.
“Isn’t this perfectly gorgeous!” she exclaimed. “Just think, it came
from a poor little insignificant worm!”
Her hard-working father looked a moment, then he turned and said:
“Yes, darn it, an’ I’m that worm!”
Half and Half
Mrs. Murphy is very fat, and the other day, laden with parcels and
packages, she was trying to mount the steps of a Dublin tramcar.
Helplessly looking on, stood the conductor, a diminutive little chap.
Mrs. Murphy, having reached the platform, said, with a glance of
withering scorn: “If ye was half a man ye would have helped me up.”
The little conductor calmly replied: “Shure, ma’am, if ye was half a
woman I would!”
