Boneheads have been pulled since

Is a mistake. The first famous bone
head that history records was pulled
by no less d parsonage than old Noah.
Noah simply couldn't see things
right he had no vision and, therefore,
missed the Golden Chance" He had
40 long nights In which TO get up and
put the two mosquitoes in the world
out OF business. He could have done ii
with N smash of his fly swatter. But
Noah snored away at the switch and
In time the dove appeared with the
olive branch and the next day the peo-
pie walked off the ark onto land--and
the mosquitoes vent with them.
There are many other famous bone
heads that might be here recorded. but
none of them equals old Noah's as a

unanimously to place his name in the
