Little Laughs
TOO MUCH Little John’s medicine was anything but pleasant, and his mother was having difficulty in trying to get him to take it. “ Come, come. Johnny,” she said pleadingly, “ take your medicine like a man.” “ Like a man! ” Johnny objected. “ No jolly fear! ” “ But why not? ” she asked. “ Well, it says on the bottle that an adults has to have twice as much as a boy,” replied Johnny. USEFUL “ Now, tell me,” said the teacher, “ what is the skin of a cow used for? ” Little Tommy Jones jumped up. “ Please, sir, the skin is used to keep the meat in! ” WHAT IT MEANT “ Hello. Johnny! Is the doctor in? ” No. Daddy’s out giving an anaesthetic.” “ My, that’s a long word for a little boy! Do you know what it means?” “Of course I do! Two guineas.” FOR FATHER Henry: I want a small bottle of castor oil, please. Chemist: The tasteless sort? Henry: No, thank you, the flavoured; you see it is for father. (Sent by Mavis Johnston.)
