TO get into society. My papa says that a
ortermobile is the quickest way to get to
the poor house. I do not know which is
right. Perhaps they both are.
1t used to be that only rich people kept
ortermobiles, but my papa says that now
anybody can get an ortermobile that cain
raise a second mortgage.
There are great many different kinds
OF ortermobiles. There are red ortermo-
biles and blue ortermobiles and yellow
ortermobiles. but whatever kind of a or
termobile you've got you always buy a
different make the next time you buy
one. You also brag about the kind of
ortermobile you've got while you've got
it. but when you sell it you knock II, and
say II was nothing but a junk wagon.
The ortermobile Is very useful In get
ting people from place to place quickly.
1t also furnishes you something to talk
about, so If you have got an ortermobile
you are never silent in company. for you
sit up and tell how many miles YOU have
driven. and what speed you made. and
how the police liked to have caught you
for going a million miles an hour. And
folks have got to listen to you because
they want TO tell how many miles they
went in their ortermobile.
My father says the ortermoble is also
most useful as a fool killer, and that
every year it rids the world OF lot of
pin-headed idiots that would be in sensl-
BILE peoples way II there were no orter-
mobile wrecks of Joy riders.
Ortermobiles make men very fierce, like
raging lions, and say cuss words. but
they makes ladies very patient like an
gels.
When we go out in our ortermobile, and
all of a sudden it says p-s-t-s-s-s-s. and
stops. and my papa gets out of the ma
chine, and goes peeking around at its in
nards with an expression Of damn all
over him. none of us dast ask him what
IS the matter.
And when the wheel picks up a tack
and my papa has to put in a new tube,
we sit lust as still as mice because It is
not safe to speak to a man when he is
pumping a tire. The reason there Is al
ways a crowd around the man who is
putting a shoe on an ortermobile wheel
is because he always looks mad enough
eat folks alive, and they want to be
there to see him do It,
When my papa Is at home he's good
and kind. and minds what my mamma
says 10 Hllls phN NitH We are IN the or
termobile he snaps her head off II she
speaks to him, I do not know why this
is so, but II is 50.
Ortermobies make you very popular
You never know how many people love
you and want to be with you until you
have an ortermobile.
That's all at present about ortermo.
