WHAT'S ON THE AIR Page 45 Mother — What kind of a show did papa take you to, Bobby? Bobby — It was a dandy, mamma. They had ladies dressed in stockings up to their necks. She — Now, what are you stopping for? He (as car comes to halt) — I've lost my bearings. She — Well, at least you are original. Most men run out of gas. Wife (reading) — It says here they have found a longlegged sheep in the Himalaya Mountains that can run forty miles an hour. Her Hubby — Well, it would take a lamb like that to follow Mary nowadays. Mrs. Tellit — Cousin Dorothy, you know, always wanted to have a little baby daughter so she could name her June. Mrs. Askit — Yes. Did she do it? Mrs. Tellit — No. The man she married was named Bugg, and it wouldn't do, you see. ....■ ^ ;_j> Junkman — Any rags, paper, old iron? Man of the House (angrily) — No, my wife's away. Junkman — Any bottles? Lecturer — Can any one give the derivation of the word "auditorium"? Listener— Yes, from AUDIO-hear and TAURUSbull; a place where you — Lecturer — That will do. Dean — Don't you know you shouldn't play strip poker? Sweet Young Thing — Oh, it's perfectly all right. It's not really gambling. Bean— What? Sweet Young Thing — No; you see, we get our clothes back.

A farmer in the next field heard her and said: "Those aren't cowlets, those are bullets." February 1, 8, 15, 22 SATURDAY AMOS 'N' ANDY are now "two-timers."
