That Boby-Sitter Story
Got Laughs in the '30s
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Mar.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Mar.
AP)-Everybody has to sci
the record straight once in @
while.
So here goes.
A few weeks ago there was
a funny story about a baby
sitter who got stuck on the job
because her employers for
got to tell her they had Just
painted the toilet seat.
Fun is fun, but 1t turns out
that this bit Of imaginary
humor apparently has had the
greatest workout in the history
of indoor plumbing. 1t has
been tossed around the world
for years.
This week the insurance man
responsible for the latest re-
vival-and who averred the
event actually happened--did
a little record-straightening in
the matter.
The st. Paul Dispatch, which
published the original story
after the insurance man
vouched for its truth, con-
Quoted two subsequent investi-
cations and came to the con-
clusion the tale was fiction.
The paper printed q second
story expressing skepticism.
OF Dubious Origin
The insurance man, however
still sticks to the story as firmly
as the baby sitter repeatedly
did to the toilet seat, although
he now attributes it to a friend
who attributes it to another
friend and so on.
Similar efforts at pursuit over
the years also left every one
winded.
At any rate, while it was still
going. the latest edition of the
aging yarn stirred up a good
many new chuckles across the
country.
The Dispatches January %
story carried this headline:
Baby Sitter Unwillingly Stuck
to Her job" A note proclaimed
the account to be true. but with
the names omitted ito protect
the injured.
The Associated Press checked
