Show Page 10 Thursday, Match 10, 1950 THE VALLEY VIEW NEWS Nancy Haydn Offers ANYTHING GOES Did I ever tell you about my unfortunate friend who got his thumb stuck in a bowling ball a few years ago? This is a real sad case and nothing to be laughed at. Why didnt he have it removed you say? An obvious observation I must agree. But the answer is simple. He didnt believe in doctors. A real fatalist, this guy. He figured that if someone up there wanted him to go thru life with his thumb stuck in a bowling ball, who was he to interfere? Of course, this condition had its pitfalls. Whenever he met anyone they naturally asked him why he was carrying a bowling ball around with him when there wasnt a bowling alley within miles. This required some lengthy explanations. You can imagine the dexterity he had to master to take a cigarette out of its pack and light it. And it was no easy matter dipping a little fruit punch out of the bowl at a party. He finally gave up dancing too. It was alright for the slow dances but whenever he tried to rock and roll hed usually get carried away and his partner would invariably end up on the floor unconscious. An then, of course, she was caried away. Soon after this happened he lost his job. He used to be a. watch repairman and they had to let him go because he was always breaking the watch crystals. He tried his hand at selling but he had to give that up too. Whenver he knocked on the door the woman of the house thought he was selling bowling balls and slammed the door in his face. Needless to say he finally had to quit bowling too. The reason Im bringing this up now, is that I saw him standing on the street corner the other day. I didnt get a .chance to speak to him so I dont know if he ever got the bowling ball off his thumb. You see, he had his hand in his pocket. A few columns ago I told a little story about a fellow that stuttered quite badly. I kind of like it so heres another in the same vein. It seemed two fellows were walking down the street. One of them, the stutterer, said to his friend, that you the time car he had disappeared it the By got out, and his friend missed it. A Worthy Springtime - , .

RECIPE FOR PEACH Kay A little while later he said, that you But before his friend found out what he was trying to say, she was gone. Still a while later, he again said, id that ou ... But before he could finish it, his friend, a little perturbed by now said, Yes, for Petes sake, I saw it. why on it? The English are a great race of people but when it comes to their sense of humor, it leaves a lot to be desired. As a matter of fact, they just dont seem to have any. Of course if they dont catch the gist of a story, they dont mind if someone explains it to thme. Once the explanation sinks in they get a big kick out of a joke. In one of the better known clubs in England one of the members devised an ingenious way for the speaker to tell jokes. Instead of telling the story the way it is usually told, the speaker would merely mention a certain number. This number referred to a certain joke that the audience had memorized before hand. One night, the first speaker stood up and said, Number twentyone. A large roar of laughter went up from the audience. Feeling very pleased with himself, he saidNum-be- r The audience went into convulsive eighty-twlaughter. After the audience calmed down, the second he said. Not speaker got up. .Number thirty-foua snicker from the audience. The audience He tried again, Number fifty-fivdidnt crack a smile. Dejected, he sat down. Later, on the way home, the second speaker said to the first speaker, I dont understand it, the jokes I told tonight were much better than yours, and yet I couldnt get a rise out of the audience. To which the first speaker answered, Well, lets face it, old chap. Some people can tell jokes and o. r, e. others cant.
