I was reading my dad's 1936 high school yearbook the other day. Towards the back are several jokes. Here are some of them:
Miss Pat: Cecil Marie, tell me about Colonel Lindbergh's feat.
Cecil: The only great feet I know about are Martha's.
The Home Ec. girls are so lazy that they put popcorn in their hotcakes so they won't have to turn them over.
Mr. Bowers: If you subtract 25 from 49, what is the difference?
Rubie Whitworth: That's what I say too, who cares?
Miss Pat: What tense is, "I am beautiful"?
Bernice: Past tense.
Miss Nicholson: How many natural magnets are there?
Roy Dell: Two
Miss Nicholson: What are they?
Roy Dell: Blondes and Brunettes.
C.W. Mo: Doctor, will you give me something for my head?
Doctor: No, my boy, I would not have it for a gift.
Red Taylor: Say, Jimmy, how long do you suppose I could live without brains?
Jimmy Bissett: Don't know, Red, time will tell.
Mrs. Felps: Tell me something about John Milton.
Ping: Well, he got married and wrote "Paradise Lost"; then when his wife died, he wrote "Paradise Regained."
Pep (at senior class meeting): Order please!
John Louis (sleepily): Cheese and pickle sandwich.
Mrs. Randolph: Do you read Poe?
Oren: No, I read pretty good.

I will come in to him...

My Dad's 1935 year book contained this little gem:

Here is a joke from my school days.
Why did the chicken cross the street? To get to the other side.
I always though no kidding. What so funny about that? We all cross the
street to get to the other side.
