“Moment-making Jokes”
“The lights in the apartment were low, and
so was the music. You say you can read my
mind?” the handsome young bachelor demanded.
“Yes,” replied his beautifully proportioned
and beautiful dates.
“O.K.”, he challenged, “go ahead.”
“No,” she said, “You go ahead.”
We’re sure you’ve heard about the travelling
salesman whose car broke down in a rain storm.
He ran to the closest farmhouse and knocked on
the door. A grizzled old farmer answered, and
the salesmen pleaded for a place to stay the night.
“I can give you a room,” said the farmer,
but I ain’t got no daughter for you to sleep with.”
“Oh,” said the salesman. “Well, how far is
it to the next house?”
“Sunny was describing his new secretary
enthusiastically to the family dinner: “She’s
efficient, personable, clever, punctual, and
darned attractive, to boot. In short, she’s a real
doll!”
“A doll?” said the wife.“A doll?” re-emphasized Sunny.
At which point, their five-year-old daughter,
who knew about dolls, looked up from her
broccoli to ask! “And does she close her eyes
when you lay her down, Daddy?”
Two ragged beatniks were sitting on a small
pier in the Bombay Everglades, dangling their feet
in the stagnant water. Suddenly an alligator
swam up and snapped a leg off one of them.
“Hey, Man,” the unfortunate fellow and to
his buddy, “like alligator just bits off my leg.”
“Which one?” asked the cool friend.
“I dunno,” said the first cat. “You see one
alligator, you saw ’em all.”
Staggering into his apartment, the bigger
deposited himself in his bed and fell asleep. A
half-hour later, he was awakened by a knock on
the door. Wearily he struggled out of bed and,
stumbling over almost every piece of furniture
in the room, made his way to the door and opened
it. Standing there was his drinking companion
of an hour before.
“Gee, I’m sorry. I woke you up, Sunny,”
said the companion.
“Oh, that’s all right,” said Sunny, “I had to
answer the door anyway.”
Mrs Mamta introduced her voluptuous
young companion to the handsome cowboy who
was to drive them from the railroad station to
the dude ranch.
“Sunny,” she said, “This is an eastern
acquaintance of mine. Miss Vanita.”
Sunny gave Miss Vanita a long,
appreciative appraisal, smiled and turned back
to Mrs Sheela Devi.
“Ma’am,” he said, “I’d be right proud to
make your acquaintance.”
A recent independent survey indicates that
it’s still possible for a young woman with little
or no experience to make her way into the show
business.
