What's the most . common
question being batted about
the country these days? That's
right. It's, "Are you going to
Expo?"
- Well, are you? If not, why
not? You can't afford it? Of
course you can. ,You mean you..x.,
can't afford to miss' it. '
• 'yeah, you say, lout what
about bread, loot, gelt, money?
Nothing to it. Anybody who
can't make some fast money in
this ridiculous world deserves
to starve to death, let alone
not go to Expo.
I have a few suggestions. In
fact, I have quite a few, be-
cause I've been "giving the mat-
' ter .of - our own trip some
4 thought. ,I've discarded one or
two of ' thein for various rea-
sons, but it's every man to his
own taste, and one or more of
them might be just the ticket
for you.
Put your wife to work. If
she's already working„ and you
still can't afford the trip, have
an auction sale and get rid of a
lot of that'.old junk you've.
accumulated over the years.
"This does not refer to your
wife.
If you haven't any old junk,
think of something, Throw a
bingo party. Chickenfeed, you
say? All right thenohowabout
throwing a 'martini party, at $5
a. rattle, on th_,e Monday of a
holiday weekend, when every-
body has run outs. of booze?
You'd clear about $300.
..oto
Buy some veterans' calen-
dars, cut off one of your arms,,
And sell them door to door?.
Come .on, you can, figure out:
a gimmick. Send your kids out
mowing lawns. If you have no
• bids, send your mother-in-law
out mowing lawns.. And if she's
too decrepit, insure her heavi-
push her off a cliff'.
