The car's hot exhaust system ignited straw underneath and the car in turn caught fire. Blyth fire department answered the call at 5 o'clock Friday evening. Traffic to the scene was congested with gawkers. Why does a cannibal prefer a person who reads to a person who writes? BeCause readers' digest and writers cramp. What is the difference between a dog that has a broken tail and dog that does not have broken tail? Well, every dog has its day but the dog with the broken tail has a weak end. " Weak'end (week end). Get it? Where did I get the jokes? I stol e them, of • coursCWOillaiiri any storyteller be flattered that someone thought his line was funny enough to repeat? By the time we hear most,jokes, they have passed several times from one accomplice to another. Maybe they've changed .a bit with each telling. But someone. somewhere, ,sortiehow, coined the original punch line that made a good joke immortal. • , Who are these people? Who invented the elephant joke, the knqck-knock joke? What do they look like? How do they act? , Art they. the people who are always the life of the party all night long? Or, are they the quiet ones who sit nnasSumingly in a corner until, with one quick ling. they Make the whole crowd crack up? Do they dress outlandishly and try kooky haristyles that other. people -can't even imagine wearing? Do they stand out in a crowd' Do they act in a manner that we might term "Weird?" Or, do they melt into a-crowd and appear quite "normal?... And how do they conceive those uncanny witticisms? Can they crank out one-liners on demand? Or: do they take hours. days. even weeks to develop an idea? Does the whole story come to them in a flash? Or, do the parts fall together in bits and peices?. Do they lock themselves in their rooms emerling hem's, later with one quip and leaving behind -PaPeriO carpet the floor? Do ideas come co them out of the blue? If so. when and where - in- the middle of the night. when they're driving theihars-...witen they're shopping? Do they always carry paper and pen with them, or better yet a tape recorder, to keep story lines from slipping away? I wonder if joke writers laugh at their own gags. And who do they ^use as guinea pigs to try ,their stories on? The next time you see someone laughing alone in their car Or grinning at a can of beans, maybe they're not crazy. It could be they've just thought of a brand new joke. If they notice you staring at them, maybe they'll try out the gag on you. If it's funny, you can repeat it at-the next party and perhaps even call it your own.
