THE JOKES WE KNOW.

Often when we hear people telling jokes we think: "Why, I know that one." That being so, an amusing thing to try at your birthday party would be the following:— Start telling a "good story," or let someone else start telling one; then, just before you come to the "point," stop and say: "But I feel sure all of you have heard that one before." Probably they will say, eagerly: "No, go on. What happened next?" but you say: "No, I want you to guess what happened." It is quite likely, too, that they will be aisle to guess, if they think hard enough. Perhaps they have heard the story before and can supply the ending. The player who guesses correctly may tell the next story.
