Show jChaiier Box Dear Suzy, Fun and merrymaking took place at the Alf Stanworth rancho not long ago even though it did have the appearance of a Puritan witch-dipping witch-dipping event of ye olden days, and was rather smelly. It seems that Alf didn't trust himself walking about the back yard as he was a little afraid that the lid on the septic tank did not have endurance to support his weight and so commissioned Geo. Rattle .Snake Roundy 'and Chuck In Again Out Again Sly to construct con-struct a new lid for the tank so that Alf could take his daily strolls about the yard in peace of mind and safety. It was an enormous lid that the men fashioned and it was so big that the men cast it of concrete in three parts. They had put in part one and part two and were lowering lower-ing the part three into position when Chuck stepped onto part two to guide part three into place. They .had not done very good work, or else Chuck didn't know his own weight and as Chuck tugged tug-ged and pushed on part three to get it into place he suddenly felt part two- give way. The whole thing wouldn't have been so bad if they had had the presence of mind to have drained the tank. before be-fore starting to work, but as it was the tank was full and even fuller when Chuck added his volume vol-ume to the tank. George had good presence of mind though, and telling Chuck to hold his breath and nose he quickly slipped a loop under Chuck's arms and raised him to dry ground and from his rather smelly confined tank. '-It slowed the job down because Chuck had to go home for fresh clothes, and had to bury his old ones until they cleaned themselves up a bit, and George had to cast a new part two for the lid. But as of to date the lid is now in place and Chuck has been able to dig up his clothes and clean them up. We have all heard of people who were so lucky when they fell into (let's say situations like this) that they came out smelling like a rose, and so we will wonder how Chuck's luck was and is. The average basket ball fan would think that the Delta Rabbits Rab-bits won the final game in the tournament themselves. But such is not the case. While the boys were dogging the ball about the floor and not doing so well at the start of the second half two Del-tans Del-tans took it upon themselves to organize a cheering section which comprised one side of the balcony. So thoroughly did Heavy Black and Earl Kelly do their work that the whole side of the hall took up the chant, "Let's Go Delta", which as you recall Delta did, much to the constarnation of Monroe and those who figured the Rabbits were a push-over. , The local high school has realized realiz-ed their merit at the game and have elected Earl perpetual cheer leader and the man most likely to lead the team on to victory. And to Heavy they voted him as the man most likely to never raise a sweat. Well, here we go again. The com mittee for seeding clouds to make more rain has voted to continue same through the coming year. They should do one thing or the other, instead of wanting more rain. Either store the water up in the clouds for awhile longer while things dry up around here, or better yet, put reverse English on what rain has already fallen and have it plucked back up for a later date. The rainmakers have made some irate housewives about these parts and livestock feeders are not too happy either. Which only shows that you can't please everybody. Toots. |
