On Second Thought
By Jay E. House


 When man pretends to have had revelation, that means he is either faker or fool. enough and he will admit he once lived in community where they pitched horse shoes for amusement. You, too. probably have noticed that the back yard always belongs to the men.
 You will die in time, anyway. Don'T permit health faddist to beat you out of the fun you might otherwise have.
 Every man believes if he could get his just dues a banquet would be held in his honor.
 The man who, when he is run over, refuses to sit down in a public place and exhibit his bruises. generally is entitled to more credit than he gets Don't place too much faith in the left hind foot of rabbit. Every rab- bit has one. and you know what hap pens to the rabbits.
 In a country neighborhood the real ed wild goose.
 To a man, every woman is more or less attractive. But a woman never can "see" more than one man at a time.
