Youngster saving

Two modern youngsters were discussing the subject of piggy banks. “I think it’s childish to save money that way,” little Mary said.

“I do, too,” Annie replied. “And I believe also that it encourages children to become misers.”

“And that’s not the worst of it,” Mary exclaimed. “It turns parents into bank robbers.”

 

Army General

An army officer was fond of telling jokes. Once he came out of his room, and in the present of some soliders, told a lenghty joke. The interpreter translated the joke  in a single line and all soliders laughed.

The officer got suspicious. Later he asked the interpreter how he could translate the lengthy joke in a single line.

The interpreter said, “Sir, your joke is very difficult to translate. So i said merely, the General has told a Joke, please laugh.”

Disguise

A young lady came into a drug store and asked if it were possible to disguise castor oil. “It’s horrid stuff to take, you know, Ugh!” and she shuddered.

“Why, certainly,” said the druggist. Another young lady sat down and ordered a chocolate ice-cream soda. The druggist asked the first if she would have one too. With a smile she accepted the invitation, and drank it down with must gusto.

“Now tell me, how would you disguise castor oil?”

The druggist beamed all over, “Aha, my dear young lady. I just gave you some – in that soda.”

“But, good heavens, I wanted it for my baby sister!”
