When the Nasutlin passed the boat was fully half mile from the water with nothing in sight but to fight mosquitoes and await for the river to rise.

Then he hit on novel as well as an amusing method of telling them his wants were satisfied He procured tab. let and pencil and met all the sales ladies with a blank look and when they had made him notice he was it" took out the pencil for them to write it down and when the giggles of those ladies who had gone before and who were watching for the next victim did not give the snap away there was lot of fun, for few minutes. He finally would read the paper and would end up with, "Oh. thank you, madam, purchased early and often," and produce tags from every pocket. Needless to say when ever one lady was sold she i'm mediately tried to find another vic. tim for the practical joker.
