Now let's see what other comics we got here for a raid Now let's see from the. Journal American Let's see Tuffy toughies going to the movies with the little girl there's a regular movie signage coming up to the box and the manager says congratulations young man you're the millionth person to buy a ticket to this theater. And a manager says and in recognition I hereby present you with his lifetime pets this is cute I think Curtis says I demand a recount or anything else boy that you want to read I would do I have to keep moving. Keep on talking to have more comics I mean Xena Well we've got in the American McKeith in which one is this New York telegram but I figure but here's Mickey thin and. Says fill in love this Mr meant more and with a woman that we're sure is just trying to use him because the sheriff and Victor says What do you mean by you was here Mickey I says it's kind of a long story Mr meant more You'd better sit down I think meant more talks that way I don't know. And now he's engaged to her he gave her the time and ring last night. He says I can see why you were worried and feel refused to believe these things you found out about her that's right Mr met Mark I hate to ask you what do you suppose you could do anything where I don't know Mickey you for all in all this at me pretty fast let me think. Now let's see what else we got here you know you know what I like also to fly family all I love to flattery. And he says I can't stand it in here any longer I'm going to give her the money for a new hat. So there talking over the back fence the two women once it's always feel better after a real good cry and she said it gets things out of your system sorta misses flop says no it gets things out of my husband and I think it's a good idea that now listen how long can I keep on talking here you know I mean but I do want to say this about our mayor nobody has more admiration for him than I have. I think his duplicate will never take place again in this country may he live long because in never be two like you he has a grand sense of humor he has a great sense of proportion once in while he flies off the handle Yes but when he flies off the handle it's because he's intensely human but there's so much of the calm about him so much so it's marvelous that I want to take personal tribute farm right here and say it and when he did this thing about the comics yesterday you couldn't help but love him for it every child loved him for it grownups who are always will be children love him and there's nothing you can do for me Mr Mayor that I'm asking for you're going out of office anyhow I have to get a police special look for one of the other two guys but thanks for the privilege and if I can come here on Wednesday again I'll be happy to do it but in the meantime you're going to get jewelry tomorrow and on Thursday Senator Ford thank you for listening. I am. Happy Together.
