VOICE OF experience
Augustus Thomas, the playwright,
was participating in hunting trip
down south, when the dogs struck
the trail of a little animal that
caused them to put their tails be-
tween their legs and turn for home.
Mr.. Thomas had not glimpsed
their quarry, and so he asked one of
tn southern guides. "Just what does
skung look like?"
"A skunk, boss? Why, a skunk S
somethin' like kitten, only prettier.
Yes, skunk's heap prettier than a
kitten, amt he, Mose?" he said,
turning to another Georgian for
corroboration.
Nose was not so sure. He hesi-
tated, scratched his head, and then,
with a grin, replied, "Well, it's al
