Tom Wood told us this one
seems an old lady had three
very wealthy sons who, on her
18th birthday, decided to buy
her something special. The
first son bought her solid
gold Cadillac and the second
son got her a mutation silver
blu mink coat with sable pock-
cts. After seeing these pres
ents, the third son was beside
himself since he couldn't think
of a thing that was worthy.
Finally, noting pet shop, he
walked in and asked what was
the most expensive thing they
had. Man said, Well, sir, |
have two rare birds here in
this cage and they are the
only ones on earth. They are
priced at $40, 900 for the pair!"
Third son duly gave them
to his mother and after a few
days the whole neighborhood
had heard of the affair. Wom-
an who lived mex door stopp-
ed in for a visit and asked,
"And how did you like your
new carr"
Mother answered, Wonder
full"
And the new coat?" asked
the neighbor. \
Beautiful said mama.
And the birds how were
they?"
"Deliciousm said mama.
s4,ooo QUESTION
If you are single person
and earn $4,000 per year -
and are faced with the pros
pect of taking the S32, 600 or
going for the S64,000," here
are some things to consider.
First, if you decide to try
for $4,000 the total money
you will actually receive will
only be increased by S8,708s-
not $32, 900! (whereas, if you
stop at $4,000, you will re-
tain $4,000 of the total of
$685. 900 which includes
your $4,000 regular income)
Secondly, remember that in
order to come out with the
S64, 900 plus. a regular $4,000
income, you would have to
have a total earning capacity
of the staggering sum of
$448,711.11 per year!
No wonder that businessmen
are becoming more wary of
expanding when faced with
such problems as these. AS it
now stands, it appears that
man is a fool to risk an assur-
ed $4,000 in order to chance
gaining $1,000 more.
FACT
When a man makes a hole
in-one, he usually credits his
skill. But if he misses long
putt, he blanes it on the
green.
PoLLYTicks
We've been fairly successful
in getting a lot of countries
out of the red. Nows if we
could just get the Reds out of
the countries -.

Marriage is like hot bath.
Once you get used to it, it's
not SO hot"
WISDOM
Old Socrates gets a lot of
credit for being wise man
and rightly so. After all, one
must remember that Socrates
learned to play the Tyre while
awaiting death in prison cell.
GRIN
There are a lot of people
who get credit for being good
natured who are just proud of
their teeth.
coNcEiT
Conceit is one of the queerest
diseases known to man - it
makes everyone sick except
the person who has it.
KID STUFF
Sunday school teacher ask
ed her small pupils to write
down the names of their fav-
orite hymns. Each child did as
he was told and the answers
ranged from There is a Foun-
tain Filled with Blood to
Jesus Loves Me, This |
Know." But to the teachers
complete surprise, one little
girl had put down simply
johnnie Brown.
ARMY

STATISTIC
A government report says
that crime and delinquency
cost 6 times as much as public
education. Well, at least we
can safely say that goodness
is cheaper than badness.
