Description

IT HAPPENS OFTEN
Dingle McCabe—"Did you have anything to eat after the dance ?"
Bill McCabe—"Nothing, except the roast that I got from the M. of D."
Old Man Butler (philosophizing on the dance question)—Doesn't it beat
everything, every time you step on a girl's foot you have to beg her pardon,
and if she steps on your's you have to do the same thing."
James Algernon Fottral and Ernest Reginald Casey almost had a
quarrel shortly after Christmas. J. A., claimed that the curl in his hair
was prettier than Casey's beautiful bangs; this aroused the ire of the
famous beauty from Washington.
ODE (?) TO "RED" BRITT
There was a young man from Dewitt,
Who, whenever he chewed, had to spit.
But he spit on the floor
And he flew out the door,
With a mark where a cuspidor hit.
Norton did not walk down Main Street three nights this year. These
three nights were during the Retreat at the Academy.
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck would chuck
wood?
He'd chuck as much wood as "Chuck" Seaman's head, if a wood chuck
would chuck wood.
DePorter stood on the burning deck,
And as far as it was seen,
The reason why he didn't burn
Was because he was too green.
KEEN
Lipke (after the Columbia)—"We just caught the car by a foot."
Burden-—"Why didn't you use the handle ?"
PREP READING
Collins—"What do you understand by a democratic form of government?"
Coffield—"A republican government."
THE HEIGHT OF ( )
Flanagan (in History)—"What does that word you just read mean?"
Schroeder— "What word ?"
Flanagan—"Cuspidor."
Schroeder—"Oh, that means some kind of a necklace."
Flanagan—"What do you mean ? You must be thinking about crowning somebody."
