'Don't Cook Now. . .
but . . . it was really a nice summer,
wasn't it? -
Chiaasa cakt ... A statistic says that 14
percent of food shopping is now done by
men, whereas a few years ago it was almost
exclusively a woman's chore. As men become
increasingly domesticated, food packaging will
probably be designed to catch their : eyes.
Soon we'll be seeing a picture of Marilyn Mon
roe on the, breakfast, cereal box, one of Lana
Turner on the package of washing powder
and they'll be giving a cigar with every pound
of sausage.
Dig that man . . . According to the Men'sa
Garden Club bulletin, an old gardener never
dies, he just spades away. -
Funny World ... Man carrying -two com
pletely limp kids away front, the miniature
merry-go-round near the supermarket. Problem
is, how to open the car door with a recal
citrant offspring in each hand ... Large green
'field with one lone prodigal cow right square
in the middle, gulping down the clover before
she gets run out ... Cars with white side
walls dashing along the gravel road, braking
suddenly when gooey road oil looms ahead,
then driving at snailspeed to save their pretty
tires. - ;
Familiar pattern . . . With 60 years supply
of hamburgers on hand irv army warehouses,
we should soon be seeing Army Surplus Ham
burger joints opening up all over the land . . .
