My shoes ain’t got no soul
As luck would have it, my mother saved my baby shoes all these years. I must have been a lazy baby! They look like new! Why aren’t the toes scuffed up?
COUGH COUGH I took another puff
Here’s a matchbook advertising Vick’s cough drops. It’s a MATCHBOOK. The person that needs cough drops probably smokes. Why not quit the cancer sticks and nip that cough in the bud?
Working from home… It’s not new.
Not so many years ago, we all depended on “Ma Bell” and Western Electric… It was fine for doing business though. You didn’t have to see each other, and you could read a lot listening to tone of voice, hesitations, and so forth. The zoom thing they have now is just unacceptable. You have to…
An alarmingly good time at the World’s Fair
However, they left behind a lot of fun stuff, the Space Needle of course, the monorail, the “bubbleator” – an elevator that was a big plastic bubble. Today is serves as a greenhouse at some guy’s property out in the boonies.

Computer game dreams shattered.
Hey gang, remember Wacky Packages? Here’s one mocking the game Battleship… It’s BattleSHEEP. As in “Ewe sheared my Battlesheep”!!
Travel light for better mileage
Why did Campanella and Cardi hire this scrawny, skinny little guy to drive one of their huge industrial cement trucks? Is he somebody’s nephew?
WHIMSICAL OTTER WEARS BASEBALL CAP BACKWARDS
I was perusing the local free newspaper a while back and was stopped in my tracks by this enticing coupon. Haggen’s is a little upscale for our budget, but this $5 off $25 coupon should get us and many of the other riff-raff in the door. We’ll probably buy some gourmet mustard, or hot dogs…
