Babes in Peril

"Old Lady in Peril"*

*Out in Kansas, tornadoes often hit with sudden devastation,
without warning, and with unusual patterns of destruction.

In one case, a house was completely whisked away
leaving only the foundation and first floor. A silver-
haired farm lady was seen sitting dazed, in a
bathtub, the only remaining part of the house left above the floor.

The rescue squad rushed to her aid and found her
unhurt. She was just sitting there in the tub, talking
to herself. "It was the strangest thing... it was the
strangest thing..." she kept repeating dazedly.

"What was the strangest thing, Ma'am?" asked one of the rescuers.

"I was visiting my daughter here, taking a bath, and
all I did was pull the plug... and the whole darned
house suddenly drained away."

"Babes in Peril"*

*A brunette, a redhead, and a blonde escape a
burning building by climbing to the roof. Firemen
are on the street below, holding a blanket for
them to jump into. The firemen yell to the brunette,
"C'mon! Jump! You gotta jump!"

The brunette jumps and the firemen are unable to
position the blanket properly. Sadly, the brunette
slams into the sidewalk like a tomato.

Then, the redhead steps to the edge of the roof.
Again, the firemen yell, "C'mon! Jump! You gotta jump!"

"Oh no! You're gonna put blanket in the wrong place!"

"No! We've go it covered! We'll catch you!" yell the firemen.

The redhead jumps and, again, the firemen are
unable to position the blanket properly. Sadly, the
redhead also slams into the sidewalk like a tomato.

Finally, the blonde steps to the edge of the roof.
Again, the firemen yell, "C'mon! Jump! You gotta jump!"

"Oh no! You're gonna put blanket in the wrong place!"

"No! We've go it covered! We'll catch you!" yell the firemen.

"Look," says the blonde, "nothing you say is gonna
convince me that you're gonna catch me with that
blanket... so, what I want you to do is put the blanket
down and then I'll jump."
