Odds and Ends

This modern age department:  A cleaning establishment on Midway Drive displays a sign that proclaims, “Chlorophyll Dry Cleaning and Moth Proofing”

One of the best stories going around lately is the one about the Jewish boy just graduated from an Orthodox Rabbinical College.  Completely dressed in the garb of his call—long black alpaca coat, yomolka, tallis, six heavy prayer books under his arm, long black beard, he walked into the home of his parents.  His mother, looking up from her baking, spied him and cried, “Papa, look who’s here, Joe College.”

According to one of the daily papers recently one of the women accused of attempting to drag Mrs. Roosevelt out of her car during that unhappy experience in Japan was a “Maureen Corr.” (Say it aloud.)  BES
