TIME OUT
Personally, we like long
winded TV commercials it
gives us time to get to the
refrigerator and back.
MODERN AGE
If for no other reason this
is the era in history that will
go down as the time when
people spent more money on
taxes than they did on food!
FUTURE
A well-padded posterior us
ually invites trouble. So 1t is
with a country like ours.
While bully can intirnidate a
weakling, it is seldom that you
ever see anyone kick a skinny
man in the pants.
INVENTION
We were looking over a
book published in 1949 that
lists several hundred needed"
inventions of that time.
Checking them off we were
amazed at the number OF
things which have been invent
ed during the past eight years.
A few which we didn't have
then but do have now are.
automatic ice-cube makers,
frozen dinners. combination
locks on luggage. adding ma
chimes that print and dispos-
able vacuum bags. Many
more too but all these in a
short g. years.
STATISTIC
It's fact The interest the
u. S. Government is paying
this year on the national debt
is a little over z BILLION
dollars this is more than the
entire cost of Federal Govern
ment in 1898! 1t is FOUR
times more than in 1929!
BUDGET
About the only thing that
can be said about house.
hold budget is that it is the
only way to spend money
without enjoying it.
OUCH!
The man who said divided
we falf' obviously wasn't in
the brassiere business.
MONKEYS
The hydrogen bomb had
done its worst and the only
thing living was a small mon
key. Cor at least that's what
HE thought) Anyway, as he
roamed the land he came a
cross a sweet little female
monkey. He rushed to her and
threw his arms about her and
said, 1T is SO good to see you
now / am not alonei But
have you found anything to
eat?" To which the little fe-
male replied, Nothing but
some apples on that tree over
there" Our little friend threw
his arms into the air and gas
ped "Oh no! Must we start
THAT all over again."
ADAGE
And remember. girls. you
may take a lot of liberties
with Mother Nature but you'll
never fool old Father Time!
SERVICE
Once upon a time there was
a restaurant that. had a stand
ing offer of ST. 900 to any Gus
toner who ordered something
that the restaurant couldn't
furnish. Man came in one day
and ordered a Kangaroo-tail
sandwich. Waitress took
the order and came back with
:. Sorry, sir, but we're out
of those big buns!"
BOOZE
Old Boozehister's doctor
had told him that frequent
glasses of water were a must.
Drinking water will keep you
from getting stiff in the
points said the doc. To this
Old BooZehister answered.
Yeah, but where in the world
is a joint that serves water? ?"
WiMMiN
Our own idea of a really in
telligent woman is one who
doesn't insist on the same
rights" as men who wants
eill anyway
LIVING
1t appears that a lot of
parents don't take time to
raise their children they just
raise their fingersi
WORRY
We all worry about things
over which we have no control
:. these are the only things
we can worry about for if we
had control we wouldn't be
worrying in the first place.
SPEED
Only hope for the future of
speed is to invent some way
to equalize horsepower and
horse-sense.
