SUGAR 11' SPICE by BE SMILEY
There's nothing like seeing
old friends. Or.old fiends, as it
comes out sometimes when the
linotype operator, is not on his
toes ha ha.
I have a couple of old fiends
who managed to drop in while
I was getting ready to go to
England. Between them, they
almost aborted the trip. .
It's not thatthey bother me.
I wouldn't say that. It's just
that they ctpple me for about
two days each, by the time we
finish reminiscing and get to
bed as the robins begin to chirp.
That's not so bad. A chap
must expect. that sort of ruin.
But they brought with them a
couple o4' other old
fiends—their wives. That's
what really put the tart on the
griddle, as Lord Faversham
said while he was roasting a
well-known 'street -walker.

Nor should we forget
professional friends, the people
we work with. In my case, they
range from' someone like Miss
S., who weighs 84 pounds after
a steak dinner and has a laugh
that would knock, your fillings
out, to Mrs. 0., wlio is "the
sexiest broad in the school",
according to the, kids. As a gen-
tleman, I can only agree with
them.
Yes, a chap gathers a lot of
friends over a few decades. But
the two I mentioned earlier on
are a little special. Bub and
Trap. We joined the air force
together, drank beer together,
sang bawdy songs together, and
pursued, the fair sex together.
We learned to fly together.
On one leave, we hitchhiked to
New York together and I can
still remember Bub, after a bit
of intemperance or something,
spewing all over Broadway
from the window of a taxi.
Broadway has gone steadily
downhill since.
We went -our several ways
during • the big conflagration,
and all managed to stay alive
during various hairy incidents.
When we got home from the
wars, we' got in touch. ' We
were all going to college and
funds were pretty slim, but
we'd get together occasionally
for some of the old riotous
living of the rude soldiery.
We all fell in love about the
same time Band • got married
about the same time. We each
have two children and have -
shared the woes and glows of
raising kids. The three girls we'
chose, Peg, Ruth and Suse, °are
still married to us, something
of a record these days.
We've all been modestly sue-
cessful in a material way and
modestly unsuccessful in a
spirited% way.
Our • `wives tell us, in-
dividually, that we are rotten
husbands and fathers, but we
don't see them reaching into
the grab-bag 'for substitutes.
When we meet, a couple of
times a year, we compare mid-
dle-aged aches�Cfid pains, but
we're young at heart, as you
would clearly see if you drop-
ped by about 4 a.m.
We'll probably, wind up in
the same Home for Senile
Veterans. If we do, we'll keep it
lively.
Yes, a man acquires a lot of
friends ,fin a lifetime. But not
many of us have`two old fiends
like Trap and Bub to drop
around and turn us into living
skeletons when we're trying to
g t ready to go' to England.
