Quaker Warning

"Rend Due"

A starving artist was complaining to his landlord.

  "Twenty years from now people will come by
here just to look at this house and say, 'Clean
Laffs Joe, the famous writer once lived here.'"

The landlord was not impressed. "Listen, son,
if you don't pay your rent, they'll be saying that
day after tomorrow."

"Quaker Warning"

A burglar broke into the house of a Quaker in the
middle of the night and started to rob it. The
Quaker heard the noise and went downstairs
with his shotgun.

When he found the burglar he pointed his gun at
him and said gently, "Friend, I mean thee no harm,
but thou standest where I am about to shoot!"

*************************************************

"Noise"

A man mentioned to his landlord about the
tenants in the apartment over his.

"Many a night they stamp on the floor and
make a huge racket almost until midnight."

When the landlord asked if it bothered him,
he replied, "Not really, I'm usually up practicing
my saxophone till about that time most every
night anyway."
