"It must be gratifying to see your jokes copied everywhere."
"What gratifies me most," said the professional humorist, "is that somebody is willing to buy 'em in the first place."
William George Jordan, the educator and writer, uses a crutch. One day, after he had negotiated several blocks, he paused to mop his brow. While mopping with one hand he held his hat in the other and a kindhearted but near-sighted passerby dropped a coin in the hat. "Hey!" said Jordan, "it's legs I want—not alms."
Old Fashioned Fun
When that old joke was new,
It was not hard to joke,
And puns we now pooh-pooh,
