Show Cigar Store Man Had Acquired Some Wisdom A resident of a suburban town, returning re-turning from a business trip, was astonished as-tonished to see painters at work on the front of a cigar store owned by a friend. He entered and sought out the owner. "See here, Joe!" he exclaimed, "didn't you have your shop painted just a week ago?" "Yes, I did." "Then why in tarnation are you having it done over again?" "It's just a case of human nature," responded the dealer. "When the job was done the painters put up the usual 'wet paint' signs. And as usual nobody no-body believes in signs. The result was that the next day the whole front was covered with so many finger marks that it looked worse than before." "But what if the same thing happens again?" "It won't There'll be no signs put up this time." New York Sun. |
