BITS OF WITTICISMS BY A WIT

It must be confessed, however,
that few statues are erected to men
who attend to their own business.

painted?
A sheep less than three years old
in lamb stew?
A woman who really likes cotton
hose?
Real life as it's pictured on the

A last years car as good as new?
A man who doesn't think he earns
more than he gets?
A parent who doesn't think her
children are the brightest in the
world?
A loser without an abb?
A bum who hasn't seen better

pictures that convey to the mind
even better than words those wonder
