Today's laff:

   "Richard," asked the teacher, suddenly, "have you learned your history lesson?"
   "No'm," answered the little boy, slowly.  "I ain't had no time for nothing but my grammer lesson yet."

   "You see the fellow sitting over there?" said customer No.1 to customer No. 2 in a dairy lunch.
   "Yes," replied No. 2.
   "Well," said No. 1, "I never see him but I think of the story of the two college chums, who met for the first time in years.  Their meeting was in a cheap restaurant.  One of them was waiting on table and the other was a customer.
   "Why John, do you work here?" said the customer.
   "Yes, I work here, but I don't eat here," replied the waiter.
  "Now, the fellow you see over there is a publicity man for one of Indianapolis's largest hotels."


 North:  You should hear Dobbs tell about the yodeling he heard in the mountains of Switzerland.
   West:  Good heavens!  Did that fellow travel all the way to Switzerland and then spend his time in the vaudeville theaters?
   "There seems to be a great demand for $10,000 a year men," remarked Mr. Gadspur.
   "So I hear," said Mr. Dubwaite.  "Any special requirements?"
   "Well, I understand there isn't much talk about a five-day week and a six-hour day in $10,000 a year circles.  The idea seems to be that a man can work six days a week for eight to ten hours a day without wrecking his health, and he might even look in on the job for an hour or two Sunday, if necessary."

The man who ran the elevator of the sky-scraper was talking to a passenger.
     "The judge certainly soaked him," he said. "He sentenced him to three years and ten days. Now I understand the three years all right but what the ten days were for I'd like to know?"
     "That was the war tax," said a quiet citizen who got aboard at the tenth floor.
