Off-hand I can name more than twent New York bank presidents who would like to eat lollipops on their way to work. But none of them dar, they are afraid that people will talk. If they went to work disquised as brass drum players, however the size of the horn would divert the public's gaze from the lollipop.
If you run across an old barometer whil housecleaning, don't throw it away! Your neighborhood speakeasy will be glad to buy it. All the underworld cafes are haning them up...with the arrows indicating fair weather. When the intruding police see that it is fair weather, they naturally assume that good fellows are getting together. And as they only pinch joint that cater to bad fellows, they call off the raid, leaving the place unmolested.
Only a few weeks agon everyone was painting Easter eggs. Now that Easter is past, the problem arises how to get the paint off again. People pay well to get their Easter eggs cleaned! The diagram shows two energetic youg boys picking up some easy change in their spae time after school.
(I know this one needed the picture somewhat, but you get the idea of the joke anyway. The picture showed 2 boys, one pedeling a bike, that has the wheel removed, and the chain attached to a grindstone, while the other commences to remove the paint from the HUGE pile of eggs.)
