Show Effli, THE "A fool there was who took a chance , They carried him off in an ambulance." f (By MARCUS A. DOW.) Here's my story, everybody, and I'll atick to it. So's you'll make no mistake mis-take as to who's tellin' this yarn, I'm . Bill, the bus driver. Mebbe my stories Is goln' to be klnda rough on a lotta guys and the Janes Is Included. I'm goin' to call a spade a spade, a fool a fool and a jap a yap. Lots of stuff has been printed about this auto accident business. Judgin' V- from casualty lists which keep a growln' and a growin' year by year nobody pays much attention to what Is bein' said. Mebbe that's because It's all been.. kindly advice In polite '"'" ""words that was too highbrow. The hospitals and morgues keep doln' a land office business. More than thirty thousand human beiu's gets bumped off and half a million gets busted up, lacerated or bruised from New Year's to New Year's at present writln'. So I think the advice you have been gettln' Is too much like the sugar-coated pill only In this case it don't make the sick folks any better. They keep gettln' worse that Is, more careless, accordln' to figures, facts and what takes place. I knew a family where father a henpecked little bozo pulled a boner at dinner when comp'ny was present. Friend wife give him a good kick un--- der the table which put him where he belonged woke him up to the fact that he was In wrong and all wet like a flsh. The effect of the kick was like magic. He Bhut up and tried to square himself. So now all you careless drivers and walkers, meanln' everybody, you are all goln' to get a good swift kick In the shins In each article In this column. col-umn. You'll have the monikers "Drlv-ln" "Drlv-ln" Fools" and "Walkln' Y'aps" tacked onto you and If It makes you sore It'll be great I It will at least get a rise out of you and make you think. |
