Humorous Story
i - ?
By WILL ROGERS
THIS one may not have happened
just yesterday. Anvwav. ii it
did, there was something a whole
lot like it that happened when I
was a kid. I remember hearing
something suspiciously like this ns
soon as I could hear, and still they
do tell them every day ap old as
this one.
It was a Greek, the way I heard
it last, that got into a riot that
was going on in a candy kitchen.
It was all about how to make
genuine caramels, and this Greek ^
seemed to be in the wrong, for he
got knocked out
l?^l
An ambulance took him to the
hospital, and while he was on the
table, with the doctors quarreling
about what to take out of ldm, the
Greek woke up. He was seared,
and one of the doctors says to him,
"Oh, you Just go back to sleep.
We're fixing you up."
"What's the matter?" says the
Greek.
"Oh, nothing. Tea Just got hurt
