The editor of a small Missouri paper sent a notice to one Bill Jenkins that his subscription had expired. The note came back with the laconic scrawl ‘so is Bill ‘.

Bananas!

During his administration, President Coolidge was one time taken on a tour of inspection through the fabulously magnificent and variegated horticultural conservatories on the estate of Pierre S DuPont at Longwood, Pennsylvania

The marvellous beauties of the spring flowers, the exotically cultivate d special fruits, the weird and unreal form of cacti, the beautiful ferns, the orchids. All these things elicited from the President no word of comment. Stepping into the close and humid atmosphere of the room devoted to tropical trees, the president looked about for a moment and remarked with interest, ‘Bananas’.

Press Conference

At one of the White House press conference s various reporters were vainly firing their questions at Calvin Coolidge

Have you anything to say about prohibition ?

No

Have you anything to say about the world court?

No

About the farm situation?

No

About the forthcoming senatorial campaign?

No

The meeting broke up and the reporters began to file out of the room

And called the president, don’t quote me

Gift of Gab

Bob Burns, the local boy who made good food from Arkansas, is well known for his stories about his large and amusing family. One day when chided for his loquaciousness, he explained that not all members of his family were as given to the gift of gab as himself.

Now take my cousin Wilfred. He was eleven years old before he so much as said one word. One day he was sitting on a fence, watching his father plot a field.

A bull broke through into the pasture and made straight for Wilfred’s pa.  all of a sudden Wilfred s mouth opened and he yelled

Hey, Pa! Hey! Look out for the bull.

Soon as his Pa got out of the field he went straight for Wilfred and said, Wilfred you shore done me a right smart favour that time. But how come you are speaking all of a sudden? You ain’t never said nothing afore

“Well, Pa”, was Wilfred’s reply “I just ain’t never had nothing to say before”.
