W SEACRE IS
DUE FOR A BUMP
BEFOR
E
DAY GOES
Have you bitten yet today on otic
of those ancient, hoary, bewhlskered
'wheezes that individuals zee fit to
perpetrate this day on their unsus
pecting: fellow-men?
Have ypu stooped to pickup a fat.
promlslng-looklnc rallet that lay
tejnptlncly Jlndei1 your ery feet, .nly
to hae It whisked unceremoniously
a way 7
Have you drawn back your Toot
to administer a. lusty Kick to a dilapi
dated dicer lyine Invitingly on the
sidewalk, only to Have jour pet toe
come Into sudden and painful con
tact with a brick, carefully camou
flaged under the lid?
Hae you found a note oil jour
desk this uiornlnev asking von to
call up illss Fox, or Miss Wolfe at
Columbia 744, only to have ionie
jcruff -voiced lndiidual at the other
end of the line Inform you that it
was the Zoo. and that J ou're another
one of those gosh-blanked. bllnkety
blanked April Fools that bite on that
venerable trick eery April 1.
Have you?
The flood of damphool calls every
April 1, results of some one telling
some one else that Hiss Fish at a
number that later develops to be the
Fish Bureau, wants to make a date,
has caused officials of the telephone
company to put an extra operator
on the switchboard todaj, no If you
call that number and Central tells
you to "lay off" don't be surprised.
Of course, all the old stunts Mill
come into their own again today.
There will be the same old soap-and-cotton
candj : the same old "Your
shoelace-Is-untied" joke, so-called,
the same old trick telephone calls;
the same old explosive clears and
cigarettes; the same old rubber
pointed pencils; the same old box In
the mail, whose coier sou take off
only to have some shaky thing leap
into your face and give jou a black
eje- and a ditto disposition; tlio same
old call to the boss, whereat you go
tremblingly Into his sanctum, only
to have him ask what In 'ell you
came In there for and to get out.
whereupon you find out that some of
your fellow-workers ha put one
over on you.
SoTjewSreV-or you'll be dubbed an
April Fool ere today Is jesterday.
