  1. (continued from previous page)
    Jim was walking along the town one day when he saw a friend of his on one of the large buildings doing some repairs.
    "What are you doing up there," said Jim.
    "I'm painting the clouds with sunshine," replied his friend,
    "If you don't come down out of that," said Jim, you'll be painting yourself with iodine."
    As I mentioned before Jim was a very tall man. One day Jim was going down the street when he met a woman. This lady thought she'd poke fun at Jim's great height.
    "Hand me down the moon Jim" said the dansel.
    "I would," said Jim, only I could'nt trust it with you, you might pawn it."
