Show Satisfied Yearning to Punch Cash Register A certain resident of an exclusive Ivew Jersey suburb startled his friends recently by opening a bonk and magazine maga-zine store in the town. He was known to be wealthy and did nut need more money, and as he was a bridge and golf addict nnd had other and varied interests, they could not catalogue his Innovation as a hobby, even though he spent Dearly every evening at the store. Then It occurred to a close friend to ask him outright. The new book store owner looked a little sheepish as be explained: "I'll tell you if you promise not to mention It to anyone. But ail my lite cash registers have Intrigued me. Every time I made a purchase I've yearned to punch the key. In fact, on a number of occasions I've bribed a clerk to allow me to ring up my own money. It's a queer sort of complex, com-plex, I know, but as long as I enjoy punching cash registers I'm going to continue it." New York Sun. |
