If a story is genuinely 182490Sjkhfunny it makes no difference how dirty it is. Shout it from the rooftops. 192490SjkhLet the chips fall all over the prairie and let the bonehead wowsers yelp. 202490Sjkh... on them." 212490Sjkh It is a nice thing to have a neighbor of Avery's grain. He has 222490Sjkhbelieved in the aforestated principles all his life. A great many other 232490Sjkhpeople nowadays are casting aside the pietistic attitude that has led them 242490Sjkhto plug up their ears against the facts of life. We of The Brotherhood 252490Sjkhbelieve as Avery believes; we have never been intimidated by the pharisaical 262490Sjkhmeddlers who have been smelling up the American landscape since the time of 272490Sjkhthe bundling board. Neither has any one of our members ever been called a 282490Sjkhracist. Still, we have been in unremitting revolt against the ignorant 292490Sjkhpropensity which ordains, in effect, that "The Green Pastures" should never 302490Sjkhhave been written; the idiot attitude which compelled Arthur Kober to abandon 312490Sjkhhis delightful Bella Gross, and Octavius Roy Cohen to quit writing about the 322490Sjkhsplendiferous Florian Slappey; the moronic frame of mind which, if carried 332490Sjkhto its logical end, would have forbidden Ring Lardner from writing in the 342490Sjkhlanguage of the masses. 352490Sjkh -- H. Allen Smith, "Rude Jokes" 362490Sjkh 372490Sjkh ... let us keep in mind the basic governing philosophy of The 382490SjkhBrotherhood, as handsomely summarized in these words: we believe in 392490Sjkhhealthy, hearty laughter -- at the expense of the whole human race, if 402490Sjkhneeds be. 412490Sjkh Needs be. 422490Sjkh -- H.
