CHRISTMAS DAZE
Friends of friends of ours
have a three-year-o son and
it turns out that this little lad
is chock full of you know
what. What we are concerned
with here is more or less of a
classic in the annals of child
care since the consequences
are so far reaching.
At any rate this little boy
(whom We'll call Junior) was
at play in his back yard the
day before Christmas and it
was then that he discovered
that the back door of the
neighborS' house was open.
Finding that no one was at
home at the time, little Jun
ior merrily entered the liv-
ing room where the tree was
located and proceeded to sit
down and open every gift! The
obvious ectasy of the little lad
sitting there ripping open gifts
is only equalled to our mental
picture of the neighbors when
they returned to find that
Christmas had come a day
early this year! 1t is rumor-
ed that the two families are
not exchanging niceties up to
now.
DIVORCE
The reason men don't fight
divorce cases is because the
accusations initiate their ego to
such an extent that they are
merely content to sit there
and wish that they were true.
LIVING
The average man has learn
ed that money isn't everything
but he hasn't been able to
prove it to his wife.
EDUCATION
Our educational system has
been undergoing a lot of
scrutiny of late but we think
it's alright every kid of our
acquaintance seems content
that he knows more than his
mother and father. And we
suppose when this generation
has children of its own they'll
start spanking them since the
idea today is to give the
children what we never had.
BUSINESS
The trouble with m o st
young married couples today
is that they buy too many
things on the 'lay-awake"
plan.
HuMNN!
Two things that bother us
to no end are narrow mind
and a fat wallet under the
same ownership.
REPEAT
Each year we repeat this
one about the Texas woman
whose husband gave her some
golf clubs for Christmas but
she made him take them back
because they didn't have
swimming pools!
MONEY
The tight money" situation
really looks serious when we
observe the number of drunks
running around loose at this
time of year.
VIEWPOINT
We heard about a fellow
who built summer cottage
on nearby lake last summer.
On his mailbox he simply
painted the words John
Smith. After the first five
weekends he was seen paint
ing the mailbox again. This
time it read. John Smith
and Company.
WELL7
Watching Elvis Presley play
the "gee-tar" convinces us
that he wears mink under
wear that are three sizes too
small for him.
SUCCESS
Take a crackpot and give
him a screwball idea that
works and I'll show you a
genius
FUTURE
IF things continue the way
they're going the Martians
will find this sign on the door
when they invade the earth.

TAXES
Tax inspector had given a
taxpayer a terrible going
over. After informing him that
he owed three years pay in
back taxes, the inspector ask
ed his telephone number The
weary taxpayer blurted out
.. Capital 0-0000w
WISH

would you like for Christ
