Show what with having to do all the draying and such, I think the two men ought to send a little exra to the shoe shiner because of his trouble. Another case of looks being deceiving de-ceiving comes from Ruby Bunker and her recent appearance in the nightlife of Las Vegas. Ruby had gone down to Las Vegas to make sure that she became a grandmother grand-mother in a fitting fashion, which she did. To celebrate the happy Chatter Box Dear Suzy, I am rather surprised that our local men have such an appearance appear-ance of hayseeds and country yokels, yok-els, but they must do. Win Walker and Frank Roberts , went to Los Angeles lately and in getting spruced spru-ced up for City life decided on a shoe shine each. They asked the boot black to give them the works and he did. When it came time to pay their bill the boot black charged char-ged them $1.75 each. They paid the bill without a murmur feeling badly that they had been takn in on such a ruse. At least Winn thought he was taken tak-en in, but I am not so sure. Winn generally walks around with at least a good load of manure on his feet and if he was in his usual state there is no question but that the boot black had to get a truck to take the load away. Trucks do not come easy these days and event Ruby and her son-in-law start to make a tour of the joints in Las Vegas. The first place they got into was the Golden Nugget and as Ruby was lifting her first drink (root beer) to her lips a big burly bouncer came up and took it out of he rhand saying " we don't allow girls under 18 in this place, so will you and your boy friend please scram." ' Ruby tried to explain that she was over 18,' that she was a grandmother, and that the man with her was not her boy friend, but her son-in-law. The bouncer looked at her with a jaundiced eye 1 listening to her story and when she completed remarked, "lady a story like yours proves you have had one too many already, so you must leave anyway." Now Ruby is not one to look upon the wine when it is red, but she says'" if a drink makes you feel as young and giddy as a grandmother being mistaken for a girl under 18, there must be something to this drinking business after all." Ruby spent the rest of her time in Las Ve'gas walking on clouds, smirking in the mirror and berating her daughter who had just become a mother, for loking so old. Now she wants to compete with the grandmother of 27 who has been featured in the news lately. Ruby admits, being slightly over 27, but she 'says she must look, and she knows she feels younger than 18. She has proof of. being mistaken for younger than 18, and she says when that happens, " you also feel that way." I wish I had something to make me feel less fair, fat and fortyish. It was only two months ago that we were wondering how to were using during the light cool get money to pay for the oil we speel we had. Now we are wondering when we will have to turn on the air conditioners. Time flies for eevryone by Ruby Bunker, Toots. |
