No. 10972—Water
Water is composed of two gasses, both dry, which
become wet when they get together. This often hap
pens among men in dry territories.
Water is found in many places, such as oceans, lakes,
f milk, stocks, on the knees, on the brain and recently
on the bars. One becomes accustomed to having water
in oceans, lakes and stocks, but water on the knee is
different. However, this condition is easily cured by
wearing pumps. If you suspect you have water on
the brain, have a small hole bored in your head. If
water runs out you have water on the brain. If noth
ing comes out you have no brains.
Noah was the first prohibitionist. He lived on water
for forty days. The strain was too much for him, how
ever, for as soon as he got out of the ark, he beat it for
the fermented grape juice and drank himself cock-eyed.
Jonah was another of those ardent water spaniels.
His story about the whale, however, casts some sus
picion on him.
Water falls upon us in the shape of rain, hail, snow,
and water taxes. It springs out of the ground at the
slightest provocation.
A large percentage of the human body is water.
This percentage has been rapidly increased since pro
hibition. In the not far distant future burial will con
sist of being poured back into the ground.

You sing a little song or two,
You have a litle chat,
You make a little candy fudge,
And then you take your hat.
You hold her hand and say “good night,”
As sweetly as you can.
Ain’t that a heluvan evening
For a great big healthy man?

It was the last quarter. He knew that she was
watching him. Unless he acted quickly and showed
her he was no slouch, he could never expect to see
her again. He tried and tried to make himself charge,
but to no avail. He could’t. He was disgraced over
