There are too many people in too many cars in too big a hurry going in too many directions to nowhere for nothing. A man was standing by his car talking to a friend who asked, "Does your wife drive the car?" "No," said the owner, "It looked this way when I bought it." A doctor said to a man's wife: "You shouldn't give him strong coffee. It excites him." "You should see how excited he gets when I give weak coffee," the wife exclaimed. As a financier, old Noah was vastly underrated; he floated his stock when everyone else was being liquidated. We know this heavyweight, who was so big when he was a kid, he could only play "Seek." The Wright Brothers were just plane folks. "When a man puts a wife on a pedestal these days, it's probably so she can reach the ceiling with her paint roller." Born loser: "A guy who sticks his hand out of his car window to signal a turn-and smacks a policeman in the face." A parking space is an area that disappears while you are making a U-turn. A lot of folks get despondent this time of year. I have a friend who, deep in self-pity, willed his body to science. Science is contesting the will. n 1 > CM Sponsors Employee Tourney Clinton Mills will sponsor an employee Golf Tournament Labor Day, September 4, at Persimmon Hill Golf Course near Saluda, S.C.
