AN ALIBI

We are tired Of being idiotic. It's
so bIthering silly.
One can be enteTtainingly BRAIN
less up to a certain point, but be-
yond that one is merely annoying.
We had thought today to diagnose
the toy terrier, that nickePs worth
of dog with a milliOn-dOllar pedigree,
which wags a warped lead pencil on
one end and sports nervous nose
on the other. But that did not appeal
to US.
Then we considered the porcupine,
and figured out a fetching line about
his being the original apostle Of pre-
paredness because he trains his hair
for home defense. But we tried it on
the Office boy and he didn't laugh, so
we set that subject aside. We tried
some other things, but they were just
as useless.
There are times when even a pro-
fessiOnal fool can't do a good job
Of it.

AMT NATURE WONDERFUL!
Toes
There's something there's no ex-
cuse for-scientists can't figure up
any abb for them. It seems they
were just invented along with filibus-
tiers, mosquitoes and many other like
pests just to make existing misera-
BILE. There are five of 'em on each
foot, situated on the end you push
into the sock first. They are very
quarrelsOme and there's more fTic-
ton among them and they raise
more fuss than a bushel Of Mexican
revolutions. They are very migrate
full creatures. Toes really owe us a
lot for letting them live. They're
useless and what do they do but
harvest corns, encourage ihgrOwn
nails, freeze up on us and have a way
of sneaking under somebody's heel
to be stepped on. Can you beat it
for ingTatitude? Ballet dancers have
the right idea, getting even with the
toes. They make their toes support
them physically and financially.
