The Weather Man.

The most widely read author is the
weather man. He deals in fiction.
Truth is stranger than fiction" so
they say. Which probably accounts
why SO much hubbub is raised when a
weather prediction comes true. 1t SO
happens once in while, the weather
mans forecasts turn out right. But
for that matter we all make mistakes,
y'know. The safest way to play an
experts dope is to bet the other way.
You'll win-six out of a half dozen times.
What we can't figure is why the wealth
er man doesn't play his own wrong
lunches. His right ones are losers as
it goes now. After all, the weather
man has to stand for lot of joshing.
But on the other hand we have to stand
for his. So the pleasure is neEtral.-
