The school inspector was visiting the village school. "What kind of arms has a blacksmith?" he asked. "Big ones," said one smart boy. "Quite right," required the inspector. "And why has the blacksmith bigger arms than I have?" "He works!" came the reply from the back of the room. (Sent by Bruce Atkinson.) "Have you hacl any experience in chinaware?" asked the prospective employer. "Years of it. sir," replied the applicant. "What do you do when you break a valuable piece?" "Well— er— I usually set it together again and put it where some customer will knock it over, and charge her for it." 'You'U do. Start work at once." (Sent by "Gloria Jean.") "I boarded a bus yesterday and I didn't have a penny on me." "Did the conductor order you off?" | "No, because I gave, him two halfpennies." (.Sent by Bibiana Manu.) Two workmen were having dinner by Ihe roadside when some hikers asked them the way to Canterbury. One of the men told them, and away they went. When they had gone, the other workman said to the one who had given the directions: 'Furmy, I never did know the way to Canterbury myself." "Neither do 1," replied th^ other. "I often wonder ivhere they all land." (Sent ty Bruce Atkinson.)
