Zurich Herald, 1946-05-30, Page 7II JUST IN FUEI Nowhere First Irishman: "'Which would yez rather be in, Pat—an explosion or a collision?" Second ditto: "In -a collision, be- .tause in a collision there yez are, but in an explosion where are yez?" Not 1HIis Coat "Ha, ha!" laughed Bingham. 'Poor old-FIenpecked! I saw you yesterday sewing a button on your 'coat. "You're a fibber," snapped Hen- pecked. "I tell you 1 did," said Bingham. "I saw you with my own eyes." Henpecked gave a superior smile. "You didn't," he replied. "It was any wife's coat." STUFF AND THINGS Very Very Slow As the master of the house smoked his pipe tin old gardener was busy at his digging.. Suddenly the old chap straight- ened up with a jerk; seemed to think hard for a minute, then gave the spade a vicious kick. "What's the trouble, Mac?" asked his employer. "Weel, sir, ye mind that Annie, who was maid here about twenty year ago? replied Mac, angrily. "I was standing at the back door wi' her one nicht and she said she was cault; so I gied her my muff- ler. Whiles, she said she was still mild, so I gi'ed her my coat An' it's just struck me that the lass wanted me to cuddle her. I'm that mad I didn't think of it before," The Time Had to Come A friend of ours lunching in a crowded midtown restaurant broached to his waitress the sub- ject of a second lump of sugar and got sternly turned, and dressed down. When she had gone, he felt a tug at his sleeve and looked up into .the eyes of a fragile -appearing old lady in a choker collar who had been sitting at the next table. "Here you are, young man," she said in a conspiratorial whisper, and pressed into his hand a lump of sugar that she had undoubtedly dredged up from a large mesh reti- cule she had with her. "1 always carry some. In case I meet a horse, von know." Too Fast Johnny "I fell in a mud puddle.' Mother: "What, with your new pants on? Johnny: "Yes. I fell so fast I didn't have a chance to take them off." His Name The boy was being interviewed by the rector of a select Glasgow school with a view to his enrol- ment. "What's your name?" he was asked—and replied: "Pa'erson." "What did you say your name was?" the rector demanded severely. "Pa'erson," repeated the boy, add- ing, "with two t's." Partly Understood A young wife, wishing to an- nounce the birth of her first child to a friend in a distant city, tele- graphed: ` '"Isaiah 9: 9." Which passage be- gins: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." Her friend, unfamiliar with the Scriptures, said to her husband. "Margaret evidently has a boy who weighs nine pounds and six ounces, but why on earth did they name him Isaiah '' No Chances A newspaper reporter was invite(' to take his first airplane trip with a stunt flyer for the films, He was filled with dismal forebodings, which increased when a parachute was strapped on to him and he was given careful instructions regard- ing its use. 'The stunt man also wore a parachute, and when he put a heavy leather coat on over it the reporter asked, nervously: "How can you use the parachute with that coat an?" "Oh," replied the pilot, nonchal- lantly, "I'd have plenty of time to take the coat off when we fall," They went up and flew for sev- eral minutes, until, feeling warm, the stunt man began to, remove his coat, "Hot, isn't it?" he said, genially, but: 'there was no reply. Tile report- er had jumped overboard. le a Publisher HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured pub- lisher, - Gordon 11 Beverage 12 Space 13 Female deer 14 Tangle 15 Howl 5 16 Tavern 1 2 3 4 17 Erbium 6 (symbol) 8 19 Doctor of 7 Science (ab,) 9 20 Near 10 21 Therefore 18 23 Egyptian sten 20 god 21 24 Accomplish 25 Print measure 22 27 Give credit 25 29 Make speech 31 Kitten's calls 35 Guide 39 Biblical pronoun 40 Indian army (ab.) 41 Symbol for gold 42 Behold! 43 Notary public (ab.) 44 Pair (ab.) 46 Doctor (ab.)
