Recipe for Making Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than writing jokes. Simply Jot down your ideas for the jokes, say two or three hundred, on a slip of paper; then seat yourself before a typewriter. Feed blank paper into the typewriter and inject the ideas through your Anger tips into the keys. Continue to do this until all of the ideaß on the slip are exhausted, then gather up the jokes, which have piled themselves into a heap on the opposite side of the typewriter, Bend them to editors and receive your checks. A couple ofj hours a day spent in this manner should bring you in revenue enough to support a wife and nine children, run a six-cylinder touring car and buy bonbons for a soul-mate. Try it.
