A CHECKERED CAREER

A man made a bet with his wife
which was indiscreet.
The wife won--which was foreor'
dained.
The man wrote the wife check Tor
$4 in payment of the bet--which was
sad.
The wife cashed the check at the
grocery store. but forgot to endorse
(which was natural.
The grocer, despite the lack OF en-
dorsement, paid it to a clearinghouse
collector-which was careless.
The clearinghouse collector turned
it in.-which was all in days work.
The clearinghouse Office man dis
covered the lack of endorsement
which was good work.
He handed it back to the driver and
locked the drivers salary which was
system.
The driver placed the check in his
white duck coat and sent it TO the
laundry-which was unwise.
The laundry mutilated the check
beyond recognition which was to be
expected.
This is why the driver asked the
cashier to ask the grocer to ask the
mans wife to ask her husband to
write a duplicate check. Which is
why the man feels like he is paying
that bet twice. Mississippi Banker.
