Bennett Cerf presents a standard college comic routine featuring a jittery waiter exchange about coffee and tea. Jokes include a termite reviewing a Venetian blind and a desperate suitor threatening suicide, followed by a yawning town siren remark. Copyright 1955 King Features Syndicate.
A garbled OCR fragment notes odd incidents and remarks including a chaotic mix of soccer violence in Burma, Milwaukee beer quality claims, a meat preference shift to roasted barnyard fowl, Wisconsin staged animal mischief, and a Florida civil war vignette. Additional lines mention Sir Winston Churchill's pet, a raw-diet reference, a contempt of court fine for coughing, and commentary on expert advice.
