A college football star, who had
failed an examination, was disqual-
ified just before the big game. There
was great weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth, and the distressed
president of the school came to the
professor who had given the fatal
grade. "This is terrible!” he said.
"We can't win the game without
him.”
"But I had to giveMMtfo,” said !
the teacher, "You see', '1 cheated.j
"Cheated! Did you see him!” |
"No, I didn't.”
‘‘Does he admit it?” 9
“No, he denies it,” said the teach-'
er. "But he—a poor student—sat|
next to the best student, and their
answers were almost identical."
“Do you think that proves cheat-
ing?"
"In this case I do. The good stu.
(!"■'’ renlied . to the Iasi question,^
‘I don't know the answer.' And the!
football star wrote, 'I don’t know1
the answer either.’ ”

Hal Block recalls when strong,
man George Atlas guested on Mil-
ton Berle's radio show. During re-
hearsals Atlas was ver nervous.
“Let me take off my shirt,” he
begged. "I'll feel less nervous."
They went on the air and when
Berle gave Atlas his cue, Atlas
remained "frozen.” Another cue,
and still Atlas couldn't utter a
word.
Finally Berle sighed. "What kind »
of a strong man are you?" he
asked. "You can’t even pick up
your cue."

Mark Twain experienced manjTj
financial difficulties in his young-
er days. Describing his hardship^
to a friend one day, lie recalled:!
"Many a time 1 was down to my
last nickel. And even then I was
indecisive. I could never decide,
what to do with it—buy a cigar orj
a loaf of bread?"
“It’s hard to believe," comment,
ed the friend, "that a person whO|
couldn’t make such a simple deci-
sion should have become such a1
success.”
"Oh, indecision is the secret of
my success,” explained Twain.
"When I saw that I couldn’t make
up my mindf about what to do with'
the nickel, I kept it—and became
rich.”

The driver had had a fatal acci-
dent. The insurance company manj
was at the widow’s house and was!
presenting her with a check for
$25,000, double iderr.nity pay-
ment on his life insurance. The,
widow was crying and unconsol-!
able. She looked at the check and,
whimpered: "I’d give $15,000 of
this to have him back again!"
RESPONSIBLE
A fluttery young thing was be-
ing interviewed for a bookkeep-
ing job at a swank night club.
“You understand,"- said the per-
sonnel man, "that we need a re-
sponsible person."
"I'm very responsible,” she
assured him. "Why, on my last
job, whenever tbere was some-
thing called a discrepancy, they
always said I was responsible."
