HE'S WITH US AGAIN!
Now that the libuse-party' season's,
Schedule has commenced—,we again
Have that traditional pest known as
"The Life Of The Party" 'thrust upon
Us. , You 1p ow.-that,birdwho greets
Everybody when he comes, in with
"Now that :I'm here, let the
Riot get going!"
He May be a perfect'stranger to you
But, inside of five minutes, hefs
Making "wise cracks" at your expense.
He delights in nudging you in the
Ribs and, speaking close with his
Onion -perfumed breath, whisper-
•`Didja over hear the one about the
Two Irishmen, etc"—a joke that
Had whiskers .aro it when you kicked
The bumpers off: your cradle, And
Usually it's this pest who laughs
Loudest at his own jokes.
He's the same' guy who hauls out a
Broom from the kitchen, gives an
'Imitation of a banjo 'player and then
Cracks his voice on -all' the high
Notes in—"The Shade 05 The 01' Apple
Tree." -:And you're, supposed to applaud.
Gr -r -r -r. Tiring of that, he gives the
Old maids at the party a thrill -but
Nobody else—by suggesting `let's play
Post -office." Not so ggod.
At the table,; he delights to put olives
In your ice cream when you're not
Looking. Or—slip some of the hostess'
Silverware in your pocket and then—
Embarrass you with "Look what I• found
In Jones' pocket."
When called upon to make a toast, he
Flatters the ladies and tells the mon
What "boobs" they are.
The dimer over,. he sits there doing
His own,idiental work with a toothpick.
A thought strikes him, and he offers
To -"recite some' of Shakespeare's poetry."
Nobody says "go ahead" but he 'does just
,The sante. For emphasis, he knocks a
Glass of water over your best clothes
.And then, instead of apologizing, he
Tries to get a laugh out of everybody
With,, this line: i
"When it rains, you can always
see the water fall."
And thus, your •evening is utterly ruined!
