MONEY
A dollar is dollar, just like
it always was, only they've
moved the decimal point.
LIVING
Best way to get a child to
eat olives is to take away his
Pablum and start him on Mar
tinis.
CURE
The only cure for juvenile
delinquency is a curfew that
rings at home!
SUCCESS
We all try to climb the
ladder of success and some of
us never reach the top rung.
However, many of us become
very adept at climbing ladders
and that's all that really
counts. And besides, have you
ever stood on the top rung of

Couple of old sour-doughs
we're talking things over and
one told the other, "Meanest
hofnbre I ever knew was
fellow from Cheyenne. He was
so quick on the trigger that
he could fire his gun before it
ever cleared the holster!"
Second sour-dough asked,
What was the feller's name ?"
Notices Johnson, was the
reply.
VIEWPOINT
1855 will be remembered as
the year when a man who
drove black car was either
an undertaken or an eccentric.
HISTORY
Baby-sitters are more i'm
pOrtant than you think. Who
was it said that 'the hand
that rocks the cradle, rules
the world?
HUMNN!
A bachelor is a man to
whom the bonds of matrimony
bear no interest.
LABOR
Our idea of complete idiocy

OUCH!
Chorus girls are never as
bad as they are painted.
OBSERVATION
Called on a client the other
day who runs a garage. He
wasn't in so / hung around
for a while and noticed a
mechanic working on car
who carefully placed blank
ct over the fender as he work.
ed on the engine. Finishing
this, he then put clean cloth
on the seat as he started the
motor and he even washed his
hands before touching the
steering wheel. Amazed at
such excellent workmanship /
asked how long this business
had been going on. Turned out
that the mechanic was working
on his own car.
WAGES

Read about a real estate
man who committed suicide
the other day. Probably wasn't
satisfied with his lot.
sUDN THoT
A drunkard is nothing more
than a fellow who posed one
too many times as imam OF
