"Nectarine; Want some?"
"That horrible stuff? 1 should say
not. Why it's all green. Mine's good,

"That's just it. I had some on the'

Joking his wuy through classes is
the policy of a freshman in the school
of commerce at the University of
Alabama. When he came upon a par-
ticularly hard question in one of his
mid-term examinations last week, the
student wrote;
"I don't know the answer to this
ope, but 1 do know a good joke that I
can write in its place." Whereupon he
scrawled off a 160-word yarn, and at
its conclusion, wrote: "1 think this
ought to be worth some credit, don't
you? God bless you if you do, and
God bless me if you don't!"
