I would like

who the inebriated gentleman was who wandered into the barber shop and fell into a chair. He took off his shoes, and then began to re- move his socks.
"Gimme a haircut, he in- structed the barber.
The barber gulped.
**Just a minute, Sir," he cried. "Instead of taking off your hat and coat, you took off your shoes and soeks
The stew looked surprised.
“Did 1?" he hiccoughed. "Well, in that case, suppose you jus' tickle my feet!”
who the slow-thinking, close-mouthed man is who lives the life of a hermit in a Kow- loon flat. His only company is a sleepy-eyed parrot.
For ten years they lived together-and in all that time neither said a word. The lazy parrot spent most of its time dozing in a corner of the room.
One day the hermit happen- ed to be doing a bit of carpen- ter work around the house. Accidentally, he hit his thumb with the hammer.
"
“Ouch!" he cried.
The parrot opened a drowsy
eye.
What did you say?" it in- quired.
But the hermit didn't
answer.
Five years later the hermit was once more, using the ham- mer. And once again the hammer slipped and caught his thumb.
“Ouch!” cried the hermit.
The sleepy-eyed parrot look- ed up.
"Oh!" it murmured
who the gay who said to a friend:
lad was
“I fell down the stairs yes- terday with two pints of whis- key."
“Did you spill any of it?” "No, I kept my mouth shut."
Who the proud father was who asked his son:
Bathing is now in full swing on Hong Kong's beaches, as these pictures from the Repulse Bay, Lido show. (“China Mail” photo).
"Well, son, how are your marks ?"
"They're under water.” "What do you mean, under water?"
"Below "C" level.”
who the absent-minded
salesgirl was who as her boy friend kissed her good-night asked:
"Will that be all?”
who the absent-minded business man is who when leaving his home in the morn- ing for the office always for- gets something, Day after day, year after year, he manages to forget something. His glasses. His briefcase. AL ways something.
One particular morning he arrived at his office. As usual he started to check up on what he had left behind. Much to his surprise on this day, he seemed to have everything he needed.
He frowned. He looked around again. Then he picked up the phone and called his wife.
"Darling," he said, “did I forget to take something with
me this morning?”
“No, dear,” she chuckled. "Strange as it may seem, you didn't forget a single - thing this morning."
A puzzled look spead over our man's face.
"That's funny," he murmur- ed. "I must be getting absent- minded!"
