The Gentle Art of Kidding The following scholarly and eruditedissertation is the result of the extensiveinvestigations into prehistoric historypursued by Professor Hi Brow, for thepurpose of discovering the inherent na-ture of kidding. The professor is nowprepared to publish his views to theworld at large. The Dope Kidding is the most universal occu-pation of all peoples. It is popular bothas an indoor and outdoor sport. Re-quiring no implements save the humantongue, efficiency is easily The etymology of the word is simplein spite of the confusing fact that thekiddee raore often becomes the goatthan the kidder. Kidding may be divided into threeclasses: plain lies, spoofing, and the kindyou can get away with. If you tell agirl she is beautiful but dont do it con-vincingly enough, or if, perhaps she hascompared notes with her best friendand discovered that you made preciselythe same statement one night last weekwhen you called on said best friend, thenyou are spoofing. This is a compara-tively harmless stage, but exposes youto sarcastic remarks on the part of thelady. But if you tell a girl she is beau-tiful when she has already begun to sus-pect it herself, and your words onlyserve to turn her suspicions into certain-ty, then you are candidate for a mastersdegree.
