Simpson says he's not in favor of church lotteries. He was married in a church. And his wife could make the most noise dragging his pants around the floor —especially when he was in 'em.

Every since that lengthy and learn ed article last week concerning the results of various and sundry rela tive humidity experiments here at the office, Ot has been wondering whether to take it as a compliment or an insult. Frequently asked what model our carols, we always point out that it's not a model but a horrible example. Although Simpson claims that his family can trace their ancestry back to William the Conqueror, he de nies that any of his folks were with Noah in the Ark. His folks, he said, had a boat of their own. Chemistry's outstanding contribu tion to the world is blondes. (If you've read these before, don't go giving us away.)
