Things go wrong when they refuse to
go YOUR way
The rich man is the keeper of the poor
mans bank account
The more sanity a man tries to appear
the less he seems to enjoy life.
No wonder an actress is stuck up When
her name appears on so many oards
The girl who is the most popular with
men in general is apt to make one man
miserable for life.
Women are extremists. They are never
satisfied unless they can wear small
shoes and large hats.
When a 5000 fire insurance pollcy ruDs

Don't imagine you are vocalist Simply
because the neiehb0rs fail to shoot at you
when you attempt to sing.
