Old Jokes

posted Monday, 21 April 2008

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.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him...
Revelation 3:20

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

Little Aubry said, "Wow, it's so dark in here, I can't even see my hand in front of my face." But Little Audry just laughed and laughed -- she knew his hand wasn't in front of his face.

I think the students got that one past a rather lax censor.

lol 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.
