I was standing back of the counter at about ten. The rush hadn't really begun yet. Glove trade usually starts late. I was standing there kidding Herb, the stock boy, when down the aisle comes a man in a big hat, like you see in the western pictures, hair a little grey at the temples, and everything, just like a movie actor.
"How about it, Uncle Jim; am I kidding him?" demanded Owen, turning toward the old trapper, who was enjoying all this talk immensely. "Heaps of skunk farms, yes, siree," he replied, promptly. "They soon get to know the man who feeds them and give him no trouble. He's a peaceable little critter, and only when he gets excited does he go to extremes."
Even that may not be enough I am carrying supplies for ten years, and that box of mine in the vault is not to be opened until ten years from today." "But surely we shall be able to remove the obstructions ourselves in a few weeks. We always have." "Oh, quit kidding yourself, Brookings! This is no time for idiocy! You stand just as much chance of killing Seaton "
"Quit your kidding," Lise reproved him. Mr. Tiernan suddenly looked very solemn: "Kidding, is it? Me kiddin' you? Give me a chance, that's all I'm asking. Where will you be, now?" "Is Frear wanted?" she demanded. Mr. Tiernan's expression changed. His nose seemed to become more pointed, his eyes to twinkle more merrily than ever. He didn't take the trouble, now, to conceal his admiration.
Suppose you had two arms, just like everybody else." "Why think about anything like that?" Charley said. "I mean, I am what I am. That's the way things are. Right?" "Wrong," Professor Lightning said. "I can give you arms, Charley. I can make you normal. Just like everybody else." "Well," Charley said. After a few seconds he said: "Gee." Then he said: "You're kidding me, professor."
It is supposed to be a test of character to be able to "stand" these attacks with equanimity and even to join in the laugh against oneself. To "kid" and take "kidding" is thus an important social trait. Humor is often used to expose the folly of the pretentious.
'Stead of putting his legs up on another chair, and unbuttoning his vest, and telling a good story or maybe kidding me about something, he sits on the edge of his chair and tries to make conversation about politics, and he doesn't even cuss, and Sam's never real comfortable unless he can cuss a little!" "In other words, he isn't comfortable unless he can behave like a peasant in a mud hut!"
I Only after all these years you wouldn't do it, Max. You wouldn't. You wouldn't throw me over and leave me cold, Max. What can I do after all these years? I I 'ain't got a show in a chorus no more. You're kidding, Max. You're a white man, Max, and you you wouldn't do it, Max. You wouldn't. You "
They were none the worse, however, our genial host making it up to them in an extra generous provision and a special evening entertainment. Doctor, I did have some fun kidding that waiter in the white choker. He took a liking to me so I let him pal up. I told him my name was Lord Shaftesbury when I was home, but I asked him not to let it out, and the old bloke promised he wouldn't."
They own the streets as much as Clarence Drum or the American Legion does!" Babbitt grumbled. "Of course, they're they're a bad element, but Oh, rats!" At the Athletic Club, Babbitt was silent during lunch, while the others fretted, "I don't know what the world's coming to," or solaced their spirits with "kidding." Captain Clarence Drum came swinging by, splendid in khaki.
