Davy Joy says the way he hap
pened to learn to sing so good was
that when he was a boy the door to
their bathroom wouldn't lock.
Few weeks ago in this column we
had a mathematical formula by
which could be told the age OF any
person. Here's another Art Riordan
has figured out:
Put down the number of your iv-
ing brothers. Multiply it by two.
Add three. Multiply the result by
five. Add the number of living Sis
tiers. Multiply the result by ten. Add
the number of dead brothers and Sis
tiers. Subtract one hundred and fifty
from the result.
The right hand figure will be the
number of deaths, the middle figure
the number of living sisters and the
left hand figure the number of living
brothers.
"Rinamy" Jim Giddings says Santa
must NV been awful good to lots Of
girls this Christmas, judgin' by what
he put in their stockin's.
Bob Koch says over in Los Angeles
a few weeks ago he hired a taxi and
something went wrong with it and
the driver had to back it three miles
and a half to get where they were 60
ing. Bob says at first he didn't like
the idea, but when he got there and
they read the meter he found the taxi
company owed him two dollars and
half.
Dick Nelson says the way to push a
wavering prospect for q car over url-
til he or she viii sign the dotted line
is to take the person out for dem-
onstration ride and then say, III
throw in the clutch" Dick says that
working that on anybody who doesn't
know anything about car makes
sale every time.
Joe Schmidt is another feller that's
awful good in making a sales argu-
ment. He was showing tourist
woman a pair of field glasses and
she wanted to know if they really
were shigh-power, and Joe told her
that they were so high-power that #
she looked at anything that was less
than ten miles away she'd think 1t
was behind her.
