Luke McLuko Says:
A man may bo ns black as ho Is
painted, but a woman Is never as pink
as sho Is painted.
When wo seo a painting that seems
to have neither purpose nor reason, wo
call It art and let it go at that
It Is hard to reallzo that a big, bull
necked, pop eyed, flat nosed guy with
sandy whiskers onco took a prlzo at a
baby show.
A man Is norer damaged as much as
tho amount ho sues for, and bo Is never
damaged as Httlo as tho amount tho
fury awards him.
If most of us wcro as big as wo lm
iglne we are, tho streets would havo
to be widened.
Xbe. trouble with a. woman, la that
sho always wanfs fo do something else.
It Is different with a man. But a
woman Is more afraid of getting fat
than she is of getting consumption.
No, Harold, women do not llko to
kiss each other any moro than men
llko to kiss when they meet But the
women llko to mako tho men imnglno
that they nro missing something.
Tbero isn't as much to bark about at
night as a dog thinks tbero is. And
tbero isn't ns much going on down
town at night as a woman thinks
tbero Is.
Before he gets her ho thlnkfl sho Is a
clinging vine. But later on ho likens
her to polBon Ivy.
Tho fellows who are not getting any
of. It are the ones who know that the
worfd"G"f ulT ofgraf t
Tho old fashioned man who used to
wear a Mcintosh now has a son who
wears a raincoat
When you And it In tho butter, a
blond hair looks just as bad ns a gray
one.
It Is easy to tell a girl that you lovn
her when you don't But It la hard to
tell her that you love her when you do.
Soma men regard their conscience
and their appendix as excess baggage.
Most of tho men who nro seeking
positions aro dodging Jobs.
Tbero Isn't enough horsepower tn tho
.world to force a woman to do what
be will do willingly after a little Jolly;
