No Apology Necessary
A missionary was invited to a dinner at which the daughters of the house appeared in low-neck dresses. The host thought it necessary to apologize for the fashion. “Oh,” said the missionary, “I don’t mind it at all. I ought to be used to it, having spent ten years among the aborigines.”

Wife:—“I believe you love your pipe better than you do me!”
Husband:—“Well, that doesn’t go out as much as you do!”
Easily Explained
Son:—“Is it true, father, that there are people living on the moon?”
Father (not wishing to betray his ignorance):—“Certainly, son.”
Son:—“But what becomes of the people when the moon wanes?”
Father:—“They wane too.”
