Cannon Fodder
By TINA CANNON
Give an athlete an inch and he'll- take a foot, but let him take it,
who wants athiete's foot? Which only serves to remind us, that
we know a joke about a tooth, but it's too rotten to pull
puch . . . Oh what a week-end last week! it was wunnerful,
though. And we always say-it's a great life if you don't week
end . . . We hasten to point out, in passing, that while every man
has his wife, only the ice man has his pick.

WORDS OF WISDOM ...
Youth is careless,
Youth is callow,
-Burn your candle
But save the tallow.
-a gem from the warped brain of
Mr. Robert E. Quinn
(Eds. Note-Cannon always quotes Quinn, he's the managing editor even
if his poems do stink.)
(Mgr. Eds. Note-They do not.)
(Soc. Eds. Note--They do, too.)
(Eds. Note-Staff elections next week.)
