NO FEED PROBLEM

The farmer, just back from the county fair with a new horse, discovered that the animal refused to eat or drink. "Well," he said hopefully, "looks like I got a real bargain, if he's a good worker."

THE WHISTLE BLOWS

Endeavoring to rest after an exceeding hard day, poor father was being bedeviled by an endless stream of unanswerable questions from little Willie. "What do you do down at the office?" the youngster finally asked. "Nothing!" shouted father. It looked like the kid had been put off for a while, but not for long. For after a thoughtful pause, Willie inquired, "Pop, how do you know when you're through?"

TWIN WANTED

A little man came into the office of a psychiatrist. "Come in," boomed the doctor. "What seems to be the trouble?" "I was wondering," the little man offered timidly, "if you couldn't split my personality for me." The doctor looked puzzled. "Split your personality? Why goodness me, my man, why would you want that done? Tears tumbled down the little man's face. "Oh, doctor," he wailed, "I'm so lonesome!"

FIVE-DAY VACATION

Pat, an easy-going Irish-man, was fired from his railroad shop job and to avoid discussion, the foreman gave him his discharge in a letter. The next day Pat was missing, but five days later he was back to work. When the boss came through and saw him at work he tapped Pat on the shoulder. "Didn't you get my letter?" he asked. "Yes, sir, I did," said Pat. "Well, didn't you read it?" asked the boss. "I sure did that," answered Pat, "inside and out. On the inside ye said I was fired, and on the outside said 'Return to A.B.C. R. R. Shops in five days.' Boss, I've had a heck of a time doin' nothing for five days."

BETTER PART OF VALOR

A candidate for the police force was being verbally examined. "If you were by yourself in a police car, and were being pursued by a desperate gang of criminals in another car doing forty miles an hour on a lonely road, what would you do?" The candidate promptly replied, "Fifty."

NEW SUPPLIES

A ship dropped anchor off a small island in the South Pacific, and immediately its crew began hauling cases of coconuts ashore. "What's going on here?" the lone castaway on the island asked. "Well," replied the captain, "didn't you send a note in a bottle saying you were here and down to your last coconut?"
