A collage of corny one liners and punchlines from a bygone humor page. Jokes range from feigned hints of crime to domestic misadventures and cross cultural gags. Names and places are sparse but the tone stays breezy and stagey with quick setups and quips.
A missive mix of humorous wartime anecdotes and odd notes recounts a printer told he has days to live and a lawyer’s will instruction, plus jokes about a cosseted cook and racial exchanges with soldiers, Rockefeller golf mishap, and a five dollar payoff for a hurt boy.
An eclipse of the sun will occur August 31 with totality in parts of New England and 10 to 30 percent coverage on the Pacific coast. The Middle West and southeastern states will see 50 to 75 percent obscuration. Astronomers predict such events with precision, noting future total eclipses, and a Vienna work foretells the upcoming lunar alignment. Local notes include visits by Kerrville residents and gatherings for summer farewells and family visits in Illinois and Texas.
