Stein, Gertrude, 1874-1946

"More Toasts"

--_Lord Thurlow_.

Common sense is instinct, and enough of it is genius.--_H. W. Shaw_.


COMMUNISM

We were talking to our friend O'Doul about politics, and he was calm
enough until somebody announced himself "a violent radical."
"I can stand for Socialism--a little of it, anyway," said O'Doul
fiercely; "but it's this Communism that makes me mad; I'm not going to
stand for any form of government under which a man can come up to me
and say, 'O'Doul, there are too many men just like you in New York.
You go out and live in Columbus.'"

A--"Your communism is stupid. If everything were divided today, in a
very short time your portion would be gone. What then?"
B--"Divide again!"


COMMUTERS

Stationed at the Mont Sec observation post, near St. Mihiel, a French
soldier was showing the scenery to a doughboy.
"I have been in this section ever since the beginning of the war," he
said. "Back there is Commercy, where my home is."
"I suppose you get home once in a while?" said the doughboy.
"Nearly every week," was the response.
"Hell," said the doughboy, thinking of his own home in South Bend,
Ind. Then, calling to a comrade, he added: "Hey, buddie; here's a guy
what commutes to the war!"

FIRST COMMUTER--"Do you have to take such an early train as this?"
SECOND COMMUTER--"No.
