this week
Whats the matter now" he was
asked whats up?'
Nothing much, only this is funny
The other day | thought | might save
ii tailor's bill. / had new pair of
trousers, and by some manner had
spilled grease on the lower part OF
the legs. Where is that gasolineY
asked my better half. She did not
know. The next evening | looked out
on the upper front porch, and there
WAS the jug And nice agate pan
alongside Taking the trousers / gave
them Sou&ing scrub in the odorifer.
Gus liquid, then hung them up in the
back yard to dry. My wife coming
home at that juncture, she was duly
told of the adventure. That's fine OF
YOU she added Just leave them out
there Il few minutes and the gasoline
will soon dry out, and all you have tC
do then is to press them Well, | did
as she told me, and that night about
bed time went out to get the trousers
But they were still soaking and
smelled like samheck of the oil Still
| said nothing, but brought them il
and hung them on the back of an OLD
chair on the upper porch. Next morn
ing | walked out after them, and they
were oil-logged to beat the band Al
the breakfast table | asked, Say what
kind of gasoline is that in that jug or
the porch upstairs? | washed my
pants in it and they are still soaked.
Did YOU use what was in that Jug?
asked the daughter Yes, | had,
told her. We'll, that's keroseneI she
screamed, and then | felt like thirty
cents with the laugh | got. | got some
real gasoline then out of the garage
and gave the trousers another goot
souse in that, and while the blooming
things looked better, every time
came into the house for the next two
days the ladyfolk insisted that the
windows be raised.
You may wash, YOU may souse youl
pants if you will
But kerosene's punk scent will hans
on 'em still.
