PATRON + FUNNY FRIDAY – Humor from 1903 – still funny today

HIS LONG WAIT

“Grandpa, how old are you?”

“I am eighty-seven years old, my little dear.”

“Then you were born eighty years before I was?”

“Yes, my little girl.’

“What a long time you had alone waiting for me!”

REASONABLE EXPLANATION

Customer – You charged me $14 for this one garment? I think that’s pretty high.

Tailor – Well, the bill, as I made it out at first, was for $13, but that is such an unlucky number I thought you’d rather pay a dollar more. (Chicago Tribune)

KINDNESS BROUGHT TEARS

Mother – Oh, you cruel boy! You are making your brother cry.

Algernon- No mummy; I’m not. I’m only sharing my cod liver oil with him, wat you said was so nice. (Washington Star)
