Frat Fun . . . continued DOMESTICITY The faults a man finds in his wife may be why she couldn't get a better husband. An old farmer when asked why he never married, explained: "Well, I'd rather go through life wanting something I didn't have, than having something I didn't want . . ." "Having a hobby is fine for taking the humdrum out of life" said Otis: "My wife is taking up bird watching." "Yes" said his buddy: "You're the bird she is watching." A city fellow when asked: "Has your wife changed much since you married her?" answered: "She certainly has; my habits, my friends, my hours, and my bank account." Thanks for listening Brother Pawley. Now I must salute Brother Laurence Young and inform him of the difficulty in generating the responsibility of former Frat Fun columns. If he has been shocked or may later be shocked at any of these recountings, let me recall one of Brother Mai Goode's pithy anecdotes. He told us about a hibernating bear finding a half frozen rattle snake outside his den, — dragged it inside and sheltered it all through the winter. In the early days of spring, the snake thawed out and showed signs of hostility. He coiled, bared his fangs and sounded his rattles. The bear was outraged: "See here" he yelled, — "what's wrong with you? Have you forgotten how I took you in last Fall, kept you safe and warm all winter in my cozy den and this is your gratitude?" The serpent hissed: "I'm a snake and you knew I was a snake when you took me in. You know what to expect from us snakes?" Remember when you attended the Life Members' breakfast meeting, especially the last one in Denver? Remember what a snake I was that Wednesday morning? well, sir, I am still what the folks are calling "One of the dirty old men." Claude Hamilton was fascinated by one of the Living Bra commercials and decided to give his wife one for Christmas. He went to the large department store and the sales girl asked him what he wanted to buy. He said he wanted to buy one of those "living things" for his wife. He was asked what cup did he want. He said: "I don't want no cup, I'm not going to drink anything, I want a bra." "Sir, perhaps you will understand if I say what size does your wife wear, A.B.C.D. or E." "Oh, I don't know" he said. "What does your wife's bosem look like-two grape fruit?" "Sister if you mean her breasts, No!" "Do they look like two oranges?" "No, not that big" "Perhaps they look like two eggs?" Claude's eyes brightened and he blurted out: "Yes, thats it — eggs, eggs, two fried eggs, sunny side up." ODDITIES IN THE NEWS Two baseball players barnstorming through the deep south stopped in their travels at a primitive hotel. It was indeed primitive, not yet blessed with inside plumbing. Of course there was the water pitcher and bowl, and the fancy chamber pot. One of the players broke the chamber pot and went down stairs to report it. The male clerk who had registered them in had been replaced by a pretty girl clerk. The fellow was so much embarrased he blurted out: "Missy, I broke that thing up in the room." She smiled sweetly and asked: "What do you mean, the pitcher?" He said "No, the catcher." In a near dream I saw Brother Judge Bennie Harris, Moses General Miles, William M. Alexander and John D. Buckner on a hunting expedition. Suddenly from out of the bush they were attacked by a big black bear and immediately in the opposite direction they were charged by a wild bull. SHOOT! SHOOT IT! shouted Brother Harris. "Which one" Brother Miles asked: "Shoot the bear! Shoot the bear!* Alexander and Buckner will shoot the bull." * (Editor's note — they all can shoot the bull) Overheard at the psychiatrists': "Doctor, my wife and I are a lovely couple, but a lonely couple. We have been married for ten years, but we have no 15
