Humorous Story

By WILL ROGERS
COME of the ansa rest letters writ
tea find their way into newspaper
offices. It seems the natural
thin* to do when a hoc has something
eraay to say to tell it to a
r>r overworked editor. But once
a while a really funny one comes
along, and that reminds me of a
Mtt+r received by the editor of a
tabloid newspaper for his "Embairasdng
Momenta" column.
The paper pays a dollar apiece
for these letters and this one ran as
fellows:.
"I work on the late shift in an
eetomobile factory and came home
an hoar early last night. I found
another aeaa with my wife and was
ewfOIly embarrassed. Please send
WeIsJOO because my wife was also
