BLACK AND GOLD - 1927

JOKES

Louise Oakley has quit dieting and begun doing the "Charleston" as a method of reducing.

Malcolm (entering barber shop): "Will I have to wait to get a shave?" Barber (glancing at Mac's face) "O, about two or three years."

Leroy (nervously) "Mr. Hancock. I've courted your daughter five years."
Mr. Hancock: "Well, what do you want?"
Leroy: "I want to marry her."
Mr. Hancock: "O. I thought you wanted a pension."

Lorenz: "I have an electrical girl."
Pierce: "What do you mean?"
Lorena: "Everything she has on is charged."

Fred Crook: "Mr. Threadgill I want your daughter for my wife."
Mr. Jim: "You go home and tell your wife she can't have my daughter."

On one of those football trips James Frazier, while dining in a classy restaurant, was served with a salad with lettuce and olives.
Frazier retorted: "Take those rosebuds off that dish and please cook that cabbage."

Mrs. Muse: "Willie, why didn't you leave Savannah yesterday evening?"
Willie: "Well, mother, the Tennessee was up again, as usual."

Louise: "My face is my fortune."
Paul: "Well, it's no sin to be poor."

Ewen: "Does it make you homesick to hear a mule bray?"
Miss Cox: "No; go right ahead."

It was in the middle of the night. Suddenly the floor creaked mysteriously.
Mac (getting out of bed): "What was that?"
LaGrange (sleepily): "Aw, it's just the house settling down for the night."

Gladys: "I want to buy a chicken."
Mr. Holcomb: "Do you want a pullet?"
Gladys: "No, thanks; I can just carry it."

Mr. Brown: "Pierce, don't you attend a place of worship on Sunday?"
Pierce: "Yes, sir, I'm on my way to her house now."

Coby: "If a goat should swallow a rabbit, what would be the result?"
Gladys: "I don't know. What would it be?"
Coby "A hair [hare] in the butter."

Paul Wylie (translating Latin): "I put my arm around her waist. That's as far as I got, Mrs. Powers,"
Mrs. Powers: "Good gracious! That was enough."

Hash Song: "I don't care what you used to be. I know what you are to-day."

Johnnie Dodd: "Edith, stop yawning on the railroad track like that."
Edith: "Why?"
Johnnie: "The engineer might mistake your mouth for a tunnel."

Miss Dodds: "I'm tempted to give every one of you a zero."
Pete (on back row): "Yield not to temptation."

Hermenia (after listening to a peculiar noise in the front end of the car)-"I think your clutch is slipping."
Swig-"I'm sorry, but if you'd only sit a little closer I'm sure it won't happen again."

Pete-"I love you."
Coby-"'Is this a proposal, promise, insinuation, threat, command, hint, expostulation, inquiry, or just the first line to another of those antique jokes?"

Madge-"Can you draw?"
Ray-"A little, why?"
Madge-"Well then, draw a little closer.''

John Howard says that two heads are better than one - when they are on the same shoulder.

Mr. LaGrange-"Gladys Wright sure can talk."
Charlie Reed-"Yes, I think she must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle."

If you like this Annual, say so: if you don't, be quiet and don't cuss the staff. They did their best. This is no joke.
