An Old-Timer
A Cambridge under-graduate, contrary to regulations, was entertaining his
sister, when they heard someone on the stairs. Hastily hiding his sister
behind a curtain, he went to the door and confronted an aged man who was
revisiting the scenes of his youth, and was desirous of seeing his old
rooms.
Obtaining permission, he looked around, and remarked, “Ah, yes, the same
old room.” Going to the window, he said, “The same old view”; and peeping
behind the curtain, he exclaimed, “The same old game!”
“My sister, sir,” said the student.
“Oh, yes,” said the visitor, “the same old story!”—Tit-Bits.

But, My Dear—
Florine: I won’t marry a man who won’t look me straight in the eye while
he is talking to me.
Chlorine: Then wear ’em longer, dearie.

Girls no longer love to dance. They dance to love.

The feminine half of the world may not know how the masculine half lives,
but it never tires of trying to find out.

The Luck of the Irish
An Irishman at confession noticed that the priest had a watch on a fob.
As it was easy he nicked it. Continuing his confession he said, “And
Father, I stole a gold watch and fob from a man, but I will give it to
you.” The priest was horrified by the suggestion and said, “No, you
must give it to the man you took it from.” Pat replied, “But, Father, I
offered it to him and he would not take it.” Then, said the priest, “You
may keep it.”

Love As An Appetizer
Any emotion that gives pleasure acts healthily on the heart and other
organs, certain scientists have recently discovered. Brisk circulation,
gnawing appetite and health ensue. Love, hope and happiness all produce
these emotions and, contrary to the accepted notion, the ardent lover
ought to enjoy his meals thoroughly. Despair, grief and fear are declared
to have quite the opposite effect. They make the heart slower, and
enfeeble the nervous system, often upsetting digestion.

Many a girl looks sweet on the outside, but so does a sugar-coated pill.
