PEOPLE
This is the only country in
the world where the speed
limit is half of what the car
will do. In Ohio the limit is 90
while the speedometers will
register 120. Silly, isn't it?
ODDITIES
And a couple of other things
while we're on the subject. We
send our. clothes to the dry
cleaners" where they are
washed. And you girls go out
and pay sound money for a
permanent" hair-do which
isn't permanent.
INCIDENTAL INTELLIGENCE
Just for the record it may
be said that the gravedlggerS
in Memphis organized some
time ago and are now a part
of the CIO Gamers and Pack
er'S Union.
VIEWPOINT
Two men were brought be-
fore the judge on a charge OF
street fighting. First man said
that the second fellow had
called him a liar. When the
. Judge admonished the two for
fighting over such a trivial
matter. the first man said,
"Well, he is a liar!' To which
the second replied, Sure I'm
a liar-but I'm sensitive about
it,"
MODERN
It's getting so that we can't
distinguish between an eve
ming gown and a night gown
except that very few people
wear either to bed.
HuMNN!
The best man at the wedd-
ing is usually the guy who has
MT kissed the bride-lately.
JUSTICE
Mean old landlord had
promised the young couple
that he would paint the house
but when it became obvious
that the promise would never
be kept, the couple asked the
landlord if it would be alright
if they did the job at their own
expense. Landlord quickly gave
his permission, of course, but
he got the surprise of his life
when the young couple painted
the house BLACK!
TIT?
Soon the football season will
be here. We like the football
season since it is the only time
a person can walk down the
street with a female on one
arm and a blanket on the 9TH
er without being talked about.
TEXAS
They tell of an oil tycoon
down in Texas who has three
swimming pools one has
hot water, the second contains
cold water, and the third is for
people who can't swim!
LIFE
It isn't the wolf at the door
that worries most husbands
it's the mink in the window.
TSIF WIZ nt"
We like the one about the
errant husband who had a
habit of taking off once in a
while for little extra-curricu-
lar activity. On this particular
occasion he sat in a night club
with beautiful blonde and
when the waiter brought the
check, he reached in the poe
ket of his best suit and found
a note from his wife which
asked, Having a good time 2"
BOOZE
Television has solved at
least one problem. Used to be
that blood-shot eyes were
blamed on drinking.
