A distinguished clergyman and one of his parishioners were playing golf. It was a very close match, and at the last hole the clergyman teed up, addressed the ball, and swung his driver with great force. The ball, instead of sailing down the fairway, merely rolled off the tee and settled slowly some 12 feet away. The clergyman frowned, glared, and bit his lip, but said nothing. His opponent regarded him for a moment, and then remarked: “Doctor, that is the most profane silence I have ever witnessed.†* * *

The Sunday School teacher asked Bobby why he was late. “I was gonna go fishing this morning,†said Bobby, “but Daddy wouldn’t let me.†“You’re a very fortunate boy to have a father like that, “said the teacher. “And did your father make it clear to you why you shouldn’t go fishing on Sunday?†“Oh, sure,†replied Bobby. “He said there wasn’t enough bait for both of us.†* * *

A plane was flying low over some hills near Athens. From one of its windows a girl peered intensely, then called to the steward. “What’s that stuff on those hills?†she asked. “That’s snow,†came the reply. “Well,†said the girl, “that’s what I thought, but the man in front told me it was Greece.†* * * *

A woman who had been driving only a little while made a slight mistake one afternoon and drove the family car off the road, through a fence, and into four feet of water. Result: Nothing more than a dunking for herself, but the car was water-logged. The problem, how to tell her hot-tempered husband with as little fireworks resulting as possible. After a lot of thinking she decided on the light, casual touch. “Dear,†she said that night, after he was well fed and comfortable, “remember last week when we had that fight, and you snapped at me and said ‘Go jump in the lake’ remember? Well, I did it today.†“What!†“Yes…

CATHOLIC HORSES One day while he was at the track playing the ponies and all but losing his shirt, Mitch noticed a priest who stepped out onto the track and blessed the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, that horse - a very long shot - won the race. Before the next race, as the horses began lining up, Mitch watched with interest the old priest step onto the track. Sure enough, as the 5th race horses came to the starting gate the priest made a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Mitch made a beeline for a betting window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though it was another long shot, the horse…

So there's this man with a parrot. And his parrot swears like a sailor, I mean he's a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself. The trouble is that the guy who owns the parrot is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy. One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy gets mad and says, "That's it. I'll get you." and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bi…

A Government official suggested the destruction of a big pile of old, unimportant and ragged records to make room for currant filing. The written proposal was submitted, and referred from one office and one official to another, in the usual routine, until quite a new file had been built up on it. Finally a dozen or more officials had approved destroying the old papers and at last the order came through to dispose of them as salvage. But the final authority had added this note: “Provided that copies are made of all papers destroyed.†* * * *

The farmer was extremely near-sighted and had to get his head down close to his work to see what he was doing, as he milked the cow. The city visitor watched in astonishment and finally spoke up. “So that’s it,†he explained. I’ve often wondered what the word ‘pasteurized’ meant—never knew before that you had to get right down there where you could see every drop going past your eyes!†* * *

A drunk asleep in a bar began to show signs of life, so one of the customers smeared a little limburger cheese on his upper lip. The drunk arose slowly and walked out of the door. In a few minutes he came back in. Then he went out again only to return in a few more minutes. Shaking his head in disgust, he said: “It’s no use—the whole world smells.†* * * *

I don’t want no San Francisco bus.†He scrambled out the door, the driver of the bus turned and winked at his passengers and the bus left for El Paso. * * * *

A temperance reformer was conducting her campaign outside a saloon.

Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, live together. One night the 96-year-0ld draws a bath. She puts one foot in and pauses. "Was I getting in the tub or out?" she yells. The 94-year-old hollers back, "I don't know, I'll come up to see." She starts up the stairs and stops. She shouts, "Was I going up or going down?" The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful", and knocks on wood for good measure. Then she yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

During the mid-afternoon lull at an English pub the senior bartender and his assistant busied themselves polishing glassware. They could not help overhearing a conversation between two men at a nearby table, the only customers in the place. To say these gentlemen were inebriated would be mild euphemism. This is what the bartenders heard: “Where you from?†“The States.†“That’s a coincidence. So am I. What town?†“Chicago.†“Can you beat that? I’m from Chicago, too. What address?†“5710 Ellis Avenue.†“I can’t believe it. That’s where I live. What’s your apartment?†“Six.†…

A Wisconsin farmer, who had a reputation as a skinflint, had two hired men and a maid. Rumors flew around that he was paying them starvation wages. A federal inspector from the Wages and Hour Administration called at the farm. “I hear you are violating the law by paying below the minimum,†the inspector said. “Oh, am I?†the farmer said angrily. “Well, there’s Willie, who milks the cows and does chores around the barn. Ask him.†Forty dollars a week, sir,†Willie said. “And there’s Sammy,†the farmer said, calling over the other hired man. Tell this man your wages.†“Forty dollars a week sir,†Sammy said. …

“That there new cook on the chuck wagon is the laziest galoot I ever set eyes on,†Slim Watson said as he started off to sing the herd down. “Know what he brought along? A sack of popcorn.†“First time I ever heard of anything like that in a chuck wagon,†Longhorn Pete admitted, “but how would popping corn make him out to be a lazy galoot?†Slim spat disgustedly, “That good-for-nothing lazy varmint mixes a handful of it in the hotcake batter every morning so the hotcakes will turn themselves over and save him the trouble.†* * *

The adult life of Thomas Edison, probably due to his intense powers of concentration, is dotted with stories of his absentmindedness. The classic of the collection, however, has to do with the afternoon he stepped down from his train at the familiar Orange, N.J., station. And the station master, who’d had great experience with the inventive genius, said: Welcome home again, Mr. Edison. “Say, you didn’t leave anything on the train, did you?†“Why, I don’t think so,†replied Edison, looking about vaguely and patting his pockets. At that moment his eyes rested on a window of the stopped train. Mrs. Edison, his new bride of a fortnight, whom …

Two philosophers were sitting at a restaurant, discussing whether or not there was a difference between misfortune and disaster. “There is most certainly a difference,†said one. “If the cook suddenly died and we couldn’t have our dinner that would be a misfortune, but certainly not a disaster. On the other hand, if a cruise ship carrying the Congress was to sink in the middle of the ocean, now that would be a disaster, but by no stretch of the imagination would it be a misfortune

A small-time salesman treated himself to a Pullman ride from Boston to New York aboard a deluxe streamliner. Thrilled by the train’s luxuries, he entered the club car where several big business men were discussing the state of the economy. “A bad week,†he heard one capitalist complain. “We netted only $130,000.†“It was better for us,†said another. “Wheat was hot and we cleared $250,000.†Man after man told of such profits. Suddenly all eyes centered on the little salesman and someone asked, “How’s your business?†“So-so,†he shrugged. “Last week yellows were off half a million, but reds were up a million and blacks up fou…
