CARL SPRINGS'ONE.' '
Carl Johnson, the popular Post Carpenter, says the story about
"Sourdough Joe", in last week’s Post, reminds him of the story of the ’’Finnish
fisherman" who, taken sick, went to the doctor. Ihe doctor looked at'him and
told him to go home and take a bath and return the next day. ftiis the fisher
man did.
"Well", said ihe doctor, "How do you feel today?"
"Fine, Doctor, fine," was the reply, "If I had known that a bath could
make a man feel so good I would have taken one thirty years ago".
AND SO DOES PEDRO.
The other day Pedro and Mac were walking along the road from the Post
to Haines and Pedro noting the tin cans that decorated the high tide mark
along the beach, called Mac’s attention to them and said they reminded him
of the story of the woman and the vegetable seed peddler.
"Madame", said the seed salesman, don’t you raise a vegetable
garden?" T
"Sir", replied the lady, " I prefer to buy my vegetables in cans as i
know the cans contain the vegetables pictured on the labels, while all I
usually get from the seed packages are jimson weeds".
IN SHE BEAUTIFUL SPRI NblluE, TRa-La-La.
They say that a young nan* s thoughts turn to poetry in the Springtime.
Take it from me the only poetical effusion this Vernal season has
brought out reads:
"Spring and snow,
Beautiful snow,
I sure wish you would hurry
And go".
FROM THE VOO-DOO.
A Scotchman who had been in this country about two months went to a
movie show with a friend. In the news reel were views from the wilds
of Maine, one of which was a close-up of a moose. timing uo his friend,
the Scotchman said, " I denna ken wha yon beastie isM.
His friend explained that it was an American moose.
mA moose"?, querried the Scotchman surprisedly, "Awell I denna wan to
meet an American ro.t then1."
REEL.
Fifteen men on a dead man* s chest,
Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum;
I can get the men and a dead man* s chest,
But I can’t get the bottle of rum!'#
Tomorrow you short-tiners can say, "Two and a butt , but some of
you will be anxious to return after you have remained ''outside" for a few
months. Take it from one who knows'.'.
