"Now don't be nervous, son," said the father of a
marriageable daughter as he surveyed an uncomfortable
looking young man. "I know why you're here. You
want to marry my daughter. Don't be shy! I can
assure you that you have my permission. Yes, marry and
good luck to both of you!"
The young man squirmed a bit. "That wasn't what I had
in mind, sir. I was hoping you'd lend me
$25 for awhile."
"Lend you $25!" the father shouted. "I will not!
Why, I hardly know you!"
A Novel Goal
Some girls long for
beauty
And others wish for
fame;
Those that burn with
ambition yearn
To carve in stone their
name.
I have but one desire,
and there endeavor ends:
To get my hooks on all
the books
That I have loaned to
friends.
Colleen Hynes Johnson
That old expression "go fly a kite"
may be replaced by "go set off

A woman browsed about a toy store looking for a gift
for a child's birthday. An obliging clerk took her to the
counter of educational toys. One mysterious item was
particularly fascinating it took the clerk 15 minutes to
explain how it worked.
"Isn't this a little complicated for a small boy?" asked
the shopper.
"Not at all," the clerk replied. "It's considered the
ideal educational toy, designed to adjust the child to live
in the world of today. No matter how he puts it together,
it's wrong." Wall Street Journal
