"You always look so neat. Who does your laundry?" "Nobody. I tear the buttons off the shirts myself."

Neat Retort

A pretty girl was speeding through traffic. She soon found herself stopped by a policeman. "Look here!" growled the officer, "where's the fire?" "Why should you care?" she countered. "You're no fireman. And you ought to be able to keep busy at your own job!" After which she drove off.

LEFT UP IN THE AIR

The news reporter covering a special trial flight was enjoying the panorama spread out before him when a flock of parachutists floated by. "Goin to join us?" asked one. "Nothing doing," snapped back the reporter. "I'm quite happy right here." "Suit yourself," came the now faint reply. "We're the crew!"

Proving Her Point

"My dear, you just can't trust anybody these days! Why even my next door neighbor passed off a phony dime on me this morning!" "May I see it?" I asked. "Oh, I got rid of it," she replied. "I gave it to the neighbor on the other side of me when she wanted change."

Purely Irrational

Father—What reason have you for marrying my daughter? Suitor—No reason at all. I'm in love with her.

A ruffled schoolteacher demanded of a bright-eyed 10-year-old how long he had studied his poorly recited lesson. "Well," drawled the little boy, "I studied from 'Blondie' until 10 o'clock news."

DANGER POINT

A man who had been henpecked most of his married life was burying his wife. As the coffin was being carried out of the house, it bumped against a tree. To the horror of all present, there was a muffled scream. The lid was removed and the supposedly dead woman stirred. She was not dead at all. Restored to health, the shrewish woman lived three years longer. Then she really died. As the coffin was being carried to the hearse, the husband addressed the bearers very solemnly. "Boys, watch that tree!"
