Oh! the cuckoo. l know you're
giving US a treat, Hussiff We've al
ways wanted to hear about the
cuckoo.
Well, Gorgonzola, to start off, the
cuckoo is the goof who lies awake
nights wondering what the next
style in collars will be. He's the
same boob that eats his meals in
those invalid chair, steakless en-
poriums so he'll be able to buy some
trafic-stopping neckties.
The big idea with the cuckoo is
always to be dressed up like a sore
thumb. He's the first bird to trot out
a straw roof and the first to prance
out in white flannel trousers.
The cuckoo usually can be found
in some big Office holding down a
very important position, opening the
mail, running errands and all round
Office boy work.
He always is putting up the big
front to the trails, like this: $50 you
like the shirt. l like it myself. just
stocked myself up for the summer,
bought S65 worth this noon"
If a cuckoo was grabbed and held
by the ankles a nickle and laundry
check would probably roll out on the
parquet. viii somebody put the inn
porters of ivory wise that Africa
isn't the only place to get it?
