u OUR
HEYWoop

to spend his old age is to be a
retired loafer. why, some
days / get up real early SOS
that can have longer to loaf
says Haywood.
Big Nancy, Heywood's old
girl friend, upon hearing this,
exclaimed, THAT Haywood is
SO lazy that he went down to
the grocery the other day and
tried to buy some chewed
food!"
FACT
Frozen foods may not take
the place of old fashioned
cooking but, by golly, they're
the best you ever thaw!
OUGHT
And like the guy with the
new car said to the sweet
young thing in the trailer =.
Lets get hitched, honey
bun!"
YoRE
A grandfather is a person
who missed the cuspidor both
before and after it was gone.
THINK
The most entertainment that
can be bought for two dollars
is a marriage license.
NEW YEAR
Many a man will wake up
on New Years Day and look
upon the old year through the
mist of the night before.
LIVING
You're gettin' on, brother,
when your wife begins to be-
lieve those lies you've been
telling all these years.
PARTY
Friends of ours recently
provided us with one. of the
best evenings we've ever ex-
perienced and they also pro-
vided us with a new idea for a
party. Our friends simply in
vited several couples, none OF
whom had ever met before.
Thus, it was that everyone
enioyed himself to the fullest
if only because the conversa-
ton was fresh and the ideas
interesting. Not one knew a
single thing about the other
and each outdid himself dur
ing a grand evening. Try it
sometime.
KIDS
A juvenile delinquent is
sometimes a child whose par
ents embarked upon the sea of
matrimony without paddle.
CHRISTMAS
Christmas is the time OF
year when old dad looSens the
purse strings and is rewarded
with a family tie.
DUCK
First Hunter: Joe, we've
been out here all day and
haven't hit a single duck"
Second Hunter: "Y n!
Let's miss a couple more and
go home!"
MURDER
Down in Alabama fellow
. who hadn't kissed his wife in
10 years just shot a guy who
did.
GOVERNMENT
1t appears that bipartisan,
as applied to government,
simply means that both the
Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis have two policies each!
BABIES
One thing about being poor
and having rich relatives is
that it makes naming the baby
much easier.
SONG
Suggested change for cur
rent song title, Love is a
Many Spend-ored Thing.
AMERICA
This is the only country in
the world where the average
man can't sing the national
anthem and doesn't know
the words to 1t.
ANSWER
my brother was prisoner
of war on an island in the
Pacific" explained the buck
private. Turned out that the
brother was serving time on
Alcatraz for draft dodging.
INJuNs
The old Chief was the
proud father of 27 kids. Tour
ist asked him if he had any
family arguments. Chief said,
mo fight much. We just one
big Hopi family. Ugh"

Nothing but nothing :
gives us bigger kick than
hearing small child walking
down the street singing six

LAST WORD
To many game wardens, a
twenty-four foot freezer is
nothing more than big game
preserve.
