For 17 months in 1947-48, I was a confined to a sanitarium in Lansing with Tuberculosis. Hazel and I started dating seriously in 1946, and each weekend starting in May 1947 she took the bus to Lansing to visit me.
A gal of Hazel’s age came from Alma each weekend to visit her husband, and Hazel and Luan Hercik became close friends.
One visit I asked Hazel to bring me a hot dog. She did that several evenings, handing them to me through a window.
Then one night Hazel handed me a live toad. I liked to have died. The two girls laughed heartily. I’d never handled a toad and never will. Hazel thought them cute playthings.

Garrison Keillor, host of the radio show ‘A Prairie Home Companion,? put this one in his joke book:
Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot every where, to the point that the soles of his feet became quite thick and hard.
Being a very spiritual person, he ate very little and often fasted. As a result, he was quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he ended up with very bad breath.
(Ready?)
Therefore, he came to be known as a super calloused, fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.

When television news reporters are about to show war scenes or bad accidents, they often say, ‘Some of these pictures may be disturbing. You may want to avoid them.?
I think that all tv political news reporting between now and November should have this same warning.
