Story 5
Madge
"But Officer," said Madge. "I must live the life of a cadge.” “But Madge,"
said the officer, "It’s unlawful to bum so much as a fadge . Therefore, dear girl,
1
I arrest you by the authority of my badge."
"Oh, Officer, why do you badger this helpless cadger ?"
1. An Irish potato pie.
Story 6
A Hearty Horse Laugh
The zebra gave the zoo staff some bitter gaff. "Why
do the giraffe and the baby buffalo calf get oats when
all I get is the chaff ? This is an outrageous gaffe !"
The em•bar•rassed staff replied looking at their graph, "Apologies to you,
it was a snafu ! From now on you'll get oats, and a portion of an extra half."
"But that's not enough, staff !" said the zebra, letting out a hearty horse laugh.
"I want white or red vino, and every day a half carafe !”
