After coming in from a twenty-
mile hike the officer in command of
a Negro company said, before dis-
missing them, “I want all the men
who are too tired to take another
hike to take two paces forward.”
All stepped forward except one
big husky six-footer. Noticing him,
the officer said, ‘‘Well, Johnson,
ready for twenty miles more?”
“No’ sah,” replied Johnson, “Ah’m
too tired to even take dem two
steps.”
A man went to a secret serice
agency to report the disappearance
of his wife. After a few days the
agency announced that they thought
they had found her.
"What did she say?”
“Nothing.”
"Then it wasn’t my wife.”
