Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we
supposed to do . . . write to these men? Why don't they just put their
pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they
deliver the mail? And, for that matter, why didn't they keep them when they took their picture?

dead in otherwise.

If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by
candlelight.

Don't spend two dollars to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the Salvation Army
instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back
for seventy-five cents
Thanx Earl

If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.
