JUDGE DOG’S LIFE “A shark got my shirt once.” Man-eating shark?” “No, pool.” —Gonster The College Wit or Wit’out The college wit rose to the oc- easion. “I know iron is found in an iron foundry. I can always tell if a storm is brewing, my old man is a brewer. I never could drive a flivver, I always get rat- tled. I sometimes carry a ax so that I can cut mj I knew a guy who drank wood- alcohol. It went to his head. I am my mother’s idol. In fact, 1 am idle most of the time.” —Nate Cottier Morner—Wonderful news, Father! Here’s Ernie home from college for his Christmas vacation, and the Dean has told him to stretch it out to two months! If Rip Van Winkle talked in his sleep he musta woke up with an awful sore throat. “Do you mind if I bring the Ambassador from Morocco to your party tonight?” “I should say not.
