Reflections of n Bachelor.

Prejudice in man is failing;
in woman it is a vice.
If it hurt to be fool, half the
men in the world would go around
yelling most of the time.
Only the women who don't say
they don't ever dislike flattery, and
most of them only think they do.
After man has been through
supplementary proceedings he al
ways acts interested in a woman
who has just been operated on for
appendicitis.
A pessimist is man who has
gone through life eating no dinner
at all because he couldn't have just
the kind of pie he liked best to end
up with.
