- Katherine was easily bored and tired by them, but her husband
- Wilbur Bogart loved to visit art museums wherever he went, indulging his
- passion for Impressionist paintings. Inevitably, when between trains in
- Chicago, Mr. Bogart dragged his travel-worn wife off to the Chicago Museum
- of Art, and after only a few galleries he spotted "Sunday on The Grande
- Jatte" at the end of the hall. Nearly transported with ecstacy he danced
- down the corridor calling:
- "Kay! Seurat! Seurat!"
- "Whatever, Will B., Will B." was his bored wife's reply.

- A Bostonian taking a drive in the country passed a farm where he
- noticed a farmer that was feeding his pigs in a most curious manner.
- The farmer would lift a pig in his arms, hold it up to the branches
- of a tree and wait while the animal ate an apple. Then he would bring
- the pig over to another apple, until it was full.
-
- The man watched this procedure for some time, then finally said to
- the farmer: "This seems a most inefficient way to feed your pigs. Why
- don't you simply shake the apples off the tree and let the pigs eat
- them from the ground? That would save a lot of time."
-
- The farmer looked puzzled, then shrugged and replied: "What's time to
- a pig?"

- In the early twenties, an explorer gained considerable notoriety
- when he made a two-week trek, completely alone, through some of the most
- forbidding and unmapped wilds of the Gobi Desert, and did it without a
- compass!
-
- "Nothing to it!" he airly told reporters. "You've just got to
- mark every jog in the route, so you can go back the way you came. Every
- time I changed direction, I just built a little cairn of rocks, so I'd
- know one way from another. It's a snap if you just leave no turn
- unstoned."

- The newly excavated ruins of a theatre from the time of Shakespeare that
- surfaced in London has revealed a startling new revelation. Backstage, there was
- a room equipped with treademills and other exercise-equipement. Schollars have
- surmised that whenever a messenger was to run on-stage with a choice bit of
- information, the actor would first spend some time in this room exercising, in
- order to lend a certain verisimility to his exhaustion.
-
- They surmise thus because even today, backstage in many theatres, there is
- what is still referred to as "the tiring-room".

- One Day these two Winkies (ethic group) were golfing. The first guy got
- up and teed off.. Plunk right into the hole! The second guy got up and
- plunk 2 feet from the cup. They both approached the green having no idea
- what happened. The first guy said "Hey Thatsa my ball in the cup." "No
- thatsa my ball" said the second guy. So they argued and argueed for 20
- minutes and a Golf-pro approached. So the two Winkies decided to have him
- settle the matter. They both claimed that it was their ball in the cup.
-
- So golf-pro scratched his head and looked at the two and said "Which one
- of you idiots shot the yellow ball???"
