TROUBLES OF A LOCKHEE TOOL CRIB GIRL
My job is full of troubles and I'll relate a few, Of all the unpleasant things that I am forced to do And if I weren't naturally a really virtuous miss I wouldn't hold my job long enough to tell you this.
A dozen times a day my modesty is shocked, and I am surely thankful that the tool crib door is locked. I do not mind such decent things as uncleaned drills and shears, But the tools these fellows ask for make me red behind the ears.
A fellow cleaning bearing-cones will ask to see my balls And I don't recover from the shock, before another calls. They ask for cocks to put on pipes, for counter box and tits, And when they ask for a screw it scares me int fits.
For reamers to enlarge their holes, least that's what they say and Ask if I have any nuts a hundred times a day. They ask me for a ratchet drill and for a bastard file and dirty things like bitch dogs which makes my temper rile.
They ask me for a female gage, which really makes me wail. They know I never learned to tell a female from a male. Another fellow came to me as I came back from lunch And asked me from the window, if I'd seem his big prick punch. Another one too long a third one finds his tool to weak, Another one to strong, One asks if I can put him wise to any good tool stock.
Another will want a bunch of waste to wipe a plumbers cock. The foreman looked around one day, for a tool to cut a slot. He shouted "Open up your drawers and show me what you've got." So all this only goes to prove and you have to admit a poor hard working tool crib girl, has a lot to make her wanta quit.
International News Service.
It has been officially reported that the Japanese have taken
Castoria.
The British Foreign Office admits this but doubt their ability to hold it.
The latest bulletin states that the strain upon their rears is tremendous
and they are evacuating along the lines.
The Japs tried to suppress the report, but it slipped out and the
Brittish
got wind of it.
The Japanese now realize the value of paper, thousands have been wiped out.
Joe and John were twins; they were alike in many ways and
only their closest friends could tell them apart. John was married and Joe was single. Joe was the proud owner of an old dilapidated rowboat..... a strange thing happened to the
On the day that John's wife died, Joe's rowboat sank. A few days later a very kind old lady met Joe on the street and mistaking him for John she said:
"I'm awfully sorry to hear of your misfortune and you must feel terrible."
Then Joe broke down and said:
"I'm not sorry she was a rotten old thing from the start; her bottom was all chewed up and she smelled like an old dead fish. The first time I got in her she made water faster than anything I ever saw; she had a terrible crack in her bottom and a pretty bad hole in front; every time I used her the hole kept getting bigger. I got so I could handle her all right but when anybody else used her she leaked; but this is what finished her; four men from the other side of town asked me if I would rent her; I did; and warned them as to what she was like, but they said they did'nt mind. Being over anxious to get going, they all tried to get into her at the same time and that was just too much; she cracked right up in the middle and her bottom fell clear out.
The old lady fainted.

IF YOU WANT PARKWAY, YOU PUT YOUR FINGER IN THE "P" HOLE.

A soldier returning to camp after a two week furlough received this letter from his girl. She had written this
song,
M is for the many times you made me O is for the other times you tried T is for the trailer camps we stayed in H is for the hell we raised inside E is for the everlasting parties R is for the wreck you made of me
Put them all together they spell "MOTHER"
And BROTHER, that's what I'm going to BE
The next day the soldier answered the letter and
returned the compliment by dedicating this song to her
F is for your funny little letter A is for the answer to your note T is for your tearful accusations H is for the hope I'd be the goat E is for the ease with which I made you R is for the rube you thought I'd be
Put them all together they spell "FATHER"
But you're crazy if you think it's gonna be ME.

Dear Lu:
I have something in mind that
I have intended to tell you. You will probably
be shocked, but I have tried time & time
again to lead up to this matter; some how I
never could. Since it has been on my mind for
weeks, I have decided to tell you.
As you probably know, when I just began to
know you, my feeling toward you was only friendship
but as days and weeks went by that friendship has
turned into something more beautiful and sincere.
I never thought such a problem as this could
enter my life at such an early stage, yet now it
has.
I don't know if it is proper, or even fair to ask
you this question however, I do know what ever you
reply, you will be kind enough never to mention
it to anyone. You are the only person I could care
to ask this question. So please be positively sincere,
& above all, entirely truthful. Lay aside all thoughts
of modesty & friendship, & tell me.... Do you think
Superman will join the Army.

UNCLE SAM GETS A FEW $64 QUESTIONS

servicemen sent to the army's allowance and allotment branch head- quarters in Washington, D.C. were exhibited today by T. M. Dowling, Illinois state senator. They included:
" Please send ray elopement, as I have a 4 months old baby and he is my only support and I need all I can get every day to buy food and keep him in close."
"Please send my wife's form to fill out."
"Please send me a letter and tell me if my hus- band made application for a wife and baby."
"Sir, I am forwarding my marriage certificate, and my two children. One is a mistake as you
can see."
"Please find cut if my husband is dead for certain, as the man I am living with won't eat or anything until he nose for sure."
"You changed my little girl to a boy. Does this make any difference?"

Conscience is left at the post. Silk Panties and Jockey Shorts are off with a rush. Bare Belly shows. Heaving Bosom is being pressed. Merry Widow is caught between Thighs and Big Dick. Clean Sheets is under the pack.
THE HALF—
It's Bare Belly on the top. Thighs opens a hole and Big Dick is coming up. Heaving Bosom is still being pressed. Merry Widow is caught between Thighs and Passionate Lady trails and Conscience is completely lost.
AROUND THE FAR TURN—
It's Merry Widow between Big Dick and Passionate Lady. Thighs is working hard and Bare Belly is under pressure.
INTO THE STRETCH—
Merry Widow cracks under the strain. Big Dick is going into the drive. Passionate Lady is trying to keep ahead. Bare Belly is closing up and it's Big Dick over Passionate Lady by a length.
AT THE FINISH—
It's Big Dick trying to push out in the front. But Passionate Lady takes all he has and as Big Dick blows, it's a dead heat, Heaving Bosom falls. Bare Belly is exhausted at the finish, Thighs pulls up one. Clean Sheets never had a chance, and Conscience wasn't even in the race. Big Dick made a quick squirt and won by a head.

SECOND CHORUS
Snafu: What is the meaning of Snafu? is it something new that officers do? is it a drop kick or only a top kick? Snafu: You hear ev'rywhere, Snafu: Is it cold or hot, inspected or not? Is it a pot of GI coffee? I wrote my congressman for further informa- tion: He said: "You'll have to start your own in- vestigation. Snafu: The greatest myst'ry in hist'ry. Fun is fun, but why can't I find anyone To spill the beans and tell me what Snafu means.

THE WOLF
If he parks his little flivver Down beside the moonlit river ' And you feel him all a-quiver Baby, he's a Wolf.
If he says you're gorgeous lookin' And your dark eyes sot him cookin' But your eyes aint where he's lookin'
Baby, he's a Wolf.
Whan he says that you're an eyeful But his hands begin to trifle And his heart pumps like a rifle Baby, he's a Wolf.
If his arms are strong as sinew And ho stirs the gypsy in you And you want him close agin' you Maybe YOU'RE THE WOLF!
Oh, picture a girl with plenty of zip Who looks swell in a sweater, really a pip With long slender legs, generous curves,
A gal who can do things to upset one's nerves.
Now just such a lass was Rosie McQueen, Who came to the city when she was eighteen,
To work in an office for fifteen a week And see what adventure a young girl might seek.
Her first day of work was one of delight, She dated her boss that very same night. He met her at seven, they dined and they wined And hit all the night spots her boss had in mind.
At three in the morning with Rosie quite gay,
To her apartment they tiptoed their way. They sat down together on Rosie's settee, And she didn't mind his hand on
her knee.
He kissed her, and then, little Rosie cared less, And gently his hand stole under her dress, [MS over]
APPARENTLY SOMEONE TORE OFF A PIECE.
Hotel Astor hired a new bus driver and instructed him to meet incoming trains at the depot and shout in a loud voice:
FREE BUS TO THE HOTEL ASTOR
En route to the station on his first trip, he kept repeat- ing to himself: "Free Bus to the Hotel Astor," until he had it perfect. Upon arriving at the station, he became confused at the noise and hubbub and started speiling as follows: "Free hotel at the bust your Astor; I mean free ass at the hotel buster; I mean freeze your ass at the hotel bastard; I mean freeze your ass at the Hotel Astor; I mean bust your ass at the hotel freeze it." Oh shit — take a street car.
Lines to an Absent Husband
My dear, the house is spick-and-span Since you are gone, untidy man. No necktie dangling from a chair, No muddy footprints on the stair; My ash trays, I am proud to state, Are every one immaculate; And when I dash upstairs to scrub, There is no ring around the tub, No socks left lying on the floor, No shorts hung on the bathroom door!
This is the way a house should be, I've always said—but, well, you see, The clock has stopped; I can't persuade it
To run the way you always made it. The door to the garage won't work, And now the percolator won't perc. My kitchen knives are dull as care Without your expert touch, and there
Is no one to praise my lemon pies Or comfort me with soothing lies, Such as, "Of course you're not too fat! Well, anyhow, I like you like that!"
A house, I find, though spick-and- span Is not much fun without a man!

" A SAILORS DREAM"
Last Night as I lay in my bed I dreamed my love and I were wed And she so gently said
"DO IT "
And so I with rapture rose And lifted up her under clothes She said "darlin no one knows "
" DO IT "
It was a dream so soft and sweet And when I woke in sweated heat I found that there upon the sheet
" I DOOD IT "
