THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1981 “Tell you what I'll do—If you want a chance to think it over, Pil promise not to sell this place before tomorrow morning.” NOW YOU TELL ONE ON A CASH BASIS Joan, 5, out to tea, was puzzled when she saw the family bow their heads for grace. “What are you doing?” she asked. “Giving thanks for our daily bread,” she was told. “Don’t you give thanks at home, Joan?” “No,” said Joan, “we pay for our bread.” It is said that 132 languages and dialects are spoken in New York, but this probably doesn’t include the dif- ferent kinds of English.

Boy: That's all right, dear. It was @ good thing, really. Harry, I’m very sorrry I Girl; What do you mean? Boy: I saved $25 while we weren't on speaking terms.—Answers. LONGEST WAY ‘ROUND A tourist stopped his car on the road and asked a little country boy how fer it was to Bunkville. The lit- tle boy replied, “It’s 24,996 miles the | Way you're goin’ but if you turn ‘round, it an’t but 4.” Russia would be an awful menace if people unable to make machines could make the machines work. In the old days they consumed liquor to get a free lunch; now they attend to get the liquor. ‘The Chinese have a game called chin-chin, but otherwise it doesn’t re- semble bridge. SUCH PAPER IS WARMING Professor — Science has discovered that paper can be used effectively to keep a person warm.
