PULLED AT THE SMOKER: *
Less Sergeant Green: "How much wood would a wood chuck
chuck if a wood chuck would chuck wood?", and challenged any
one to improvise something of the same sort off hand. The only
thing he got in response, which we quote with our fingers crossed,
hoping not to start" another craze like-the cross word puzzle was
from Supply Sergeant Mot2: "How many chips would a chip monk chip
if a chipmonk’s chops would chip?", and to which Sergeant Green
replied; "I pass".
IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN: _ 1
To demonstrate the attention and wifely devotion of a ^
certain N. C.O. * s wife. The N. C. 0. had received a box of cigars
as a Xmas present and not being a regular patrol of the weed in
that form, had not the proper facilities for taking care of them.
The wife upon hearing the following con ve rsat ion : "Joe, these
cigars are getting dry", to which Charlie replied, "just get a
blotter and put in the box", said wife thought"here now is a
chance to be of service and please him", placed a perfectly dry
blotter in the box. The husband upon returning from a little
chore a short time later was hailed: "Oh, Hon, I’ve fixed your
cigars up", with proud but slightly questioning look, not daring
to question outright the wisdom of her husband ."Well,(with a
slightly long and disappointed face) "1 wondered why you wanted
a blotter in the box". She v/as told her efforts were appreciated.’
SAD WORDS.
