MODERN AGE

MODERN AGE
The effect on the younger
generation of modern eating
habits was brought home to us
as we sat with friends in To-
cal restaurant. The youngest
in the family had ordered waf-
files and when they were SER
we'd, our little friend said,
Look, Mommy, they're stuck
togetherp Turned out that the
child had heretofore partaken
of only the frozen variety
which come in individual sec
tons. All, such is the age of
modernism!
LIVING
Early to bed and early to
rise" still applies in the T-V
Age. You can go to bed early
enough to miss the late, late,
late show and still be up in
time to see the same thing on
the early, early, early pro-
gram.
HUMNNI
Even with high taxes and
fringe benefits which cost
more than you get, this is the
only country in the world
where you can still get your in
correct weight for penny.
WEAKNESS
Perhaps the poorest excuse
we've ever heard concerning
larceny is the seeming nation
al idea that it's alright to
steal if you aren't paid
enough, nobody knows what
enough" is but to hear some
people tell it-anyone who
thinks he isn't paid enough"
has the right to steal.
FISH STORY
Here's a fish story to end
all fish stories. Seems that a
couple of anglers were angling
and one of 'em pulled in a
bass that weighed thirty-two
pounds. AS the fish was yank-
ed into the boat, the other fish
erman said, Throw him back
in, Sam, he's lie!"
LESSON
Live like cabbage, mister!
Quit when you're ahead!
PSYcHiATRY
Patient to psychiatrist: I've
been worrying ever since l
read your new book on How
To Stop Worrying"
iNTERNATioNALiSM
Best explanation of Inter-
nationalism" is that we are
keeping the promises that the
Russians make.
YoRE
An old-timer is a guy who
can RENE m ber when you
couldn't buy motor-boat in
drug store.
OUCH
Nudge: Thought you gave
up cigarettes for candy bars?
Fudge: yeah, but I switch
back - couldn't keep them
burned candy bars lit"
CRITIC
A critic of this column refers
TO il as hybrid corn" But
we'll bet it goes down lot bet
ter than that stuff he drinks!
LANDLORD
It has come to our attention
that after almost thirty years
a local landlord repainted the
apartment when the tenant
threatened to move. Next thing
you know, the plumber will
start bringing his tools with
him.
DOCTORS
A doctor is a guy who will
knock before entering and then
tell you TO take all your
clothes off.
LAW
Looks like most of the fell
lows who make the best use
of the 5th Amendment are
the same ones who got rich
under the 18th.
?g??
Experience is that small
voice which reminds you that
YOU are making the same mis-
take a second time. Tolerance
Is a state of mind used until
YOU can find out if the other
fellow is right or wrong.
HoWZAT?
The expression mot Worth
A Continental" was coined long
before Henry Ford came out
with the Lincoln.
INFANCY
The reason small babies
sleep so much is because most
of them were born after bed
time.
BOOKS
From the current crop of
reading material available to
American public it appears
that dime novels have been re-
placed by dame navels!
LAST WORD
There's nothing wrong with
rock-in-roll music that can't
be cured by administering q
