JOKES.
(Sent io by Bob Grant, 16, Sefton Avenue, Grey Lynn.) An American and an Englishman were arguing who lived in the hottest countries. The American said, "In America tha sun scorches the flies' wings as they crawl up the windows." "That's nothing," said the Englishman. "We have to feed our chickens on ice cream in the summer to etop them laying hard-boiled eggs." ''Your brother doesn't play fair," said Tommy. He won the walking race three times running." Customer: I want a pair of spec-rim-med hectacles—l mean sporn.-rimnied hornieles—bother it, I mean heck-rimmed eporuacles—" Shopwalker: I know what you mean, sir. Mr. Black, show this gentleman a pair of our lateet rim-sporned hectacles." Slow Waiter: Did you ask for anything, sir? Angry Diner: Yes; I asked for hotcross buns, but that was so long ago that you'd better bring me a Christmas pudding.
