The layman who CLEANS his

HOLES.
By uEE PAPE


A hole is nuthing almost serround-
ed by something. The more there is
of 1t the deeper it gets, and there is no
limit 70 its shape
Holes change according to cercum-
stances, sutch as for ihstants wen a
hole in the street gets full OF waiter
it changes to a puddle. wich is one of
the most unpopular kinds of holes to
step into. Enybody that steps into
the same puddle twice is naturally
dunn. 80.
The hole in a cru1ler tells it apart
from a doughnut but is otherwise use
liss unless you have a ambition to
bite Ground it to see how neer you
can come and still miss 1t.
The funniest holes is Supposed to be
the holes in Swiss cheese. being even
funnier to tawk about than wat they
are to look at. No matter how ignor-
ant you are, if you mention the holes
in Swiss cheese you can always make
somebody laff.
If you see a feilo wawking back
words it may be. because he's got a
suddin hole in his pants and is trying
to diskise it, but on the other hand
it may meerly be because he's tired
of wawking fruntwerds. This proves
appearances are deceetfill.
One of the most inconvenient holes
is a hole in your pockit that you
know about but cant remember. One
of the most convenient holes is a hole
in the tents GROUND a ball game.
Holes disappear as soon as you take
away watts GROUND them. A hole by
itself is imuossible and therefore a
hale can never have a handle.
