Strange Creatures On The Pike
Oh give us a pike where strange things don't hitch-hike and the deer and the airplanes don't play!
Local turnpike commuters between Lawrence and Kansas City who saw deer, airplanes and other strange creatures on the pike needn't doubt their sanity and sobriety any longer. A 140-pound doe was killed last Saturday morning when she leaped onto the hood of a passing auto. Damage to the car was estimated at $150.
Another unusual intruder on the turnpike was a small plane which landed during the fog and taxied for several miles to a service area where
officials finally permitted the pilot to take off after temporarily blocking traffic.
Of course, aircraft and animals don't belong on super highways. But unfortunately, fences along the pike aren't high enough to keep large animals from going over them and small ones crawl under—to be killed by speeding vehicles. Turnpike authorities are hopeful that animals along the pike will develop a sense of danger and refrain from crossing the right-of-way.
As for airplanes—they belong in airports when they're on the ground—any 4-year-old knows that!

An 8 year-old-boy in Kansas City, Mo. tried to fly like Superman and had to have 24 stitches taken in his arm when his flight carried him through a glass panel. Wonder if it clipped his wings?
When the State Legislature voted an appropriation to build Allen Field House, they voted against giving funds to pave the parking lot. One of the legislators who helped vote it down got his car stuck in the parking lot after the Iowa State game and had to have it towed out. Oh, the ways of justice.
For some guys it grows on trees. For others, like us, it doesn't. If one of us bent down to pick up a quarter off the street, we'd get hit by a truck.
And then there's the one about the guy who was so lazy that when he saw a dime in the gutter he threw a quarter of his own down to make it worth picking up.
Rumor has it that Mike Todd, who is now Mr. Elizabeth Taylor, is going to buy two theaters in the same city and name them His and Hers.
A news report states that a patriotism program at a Colorado state industrial school was called off after the Daughters of the American Revolution chairman said she would not permit a boy of Mexican decent to carry the American flag. Hope that Mayor Wagner puts the Daughters of the American Revolution on the same list that he put King Saud of Arabia and Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia.

The dog, a Tasmanian teahound,
is somewhat ferocious by nature.
Our good friend Elrod has chosen a noble dog for his companion in these trying times.
When our good friend Elrod approached the old hermit, himself somewhat ferocious by nature, said hermit set upon him with an
Elrod bartered for him from a well-meaning hermit who resides some six leagues from Flint Hall.
Elrod remained undaunted, however, so the hermit called upon his mastiff-like teahound to drive Elrod away.

Whereupon the dog, recognizing Elrod's good intentions, immediately withdrew his fangs from Elrod's leg and whimpered dolefully.
"How much for your hound?" queried Elred.
"A pound sterling" replied the hermit, remembering that the currency had been taken off the gold standard.
"I shall give you not more than two bits for this hound," said Elrod, folding his arms across his chest.
The hermit concurred, the dog was Elrod's, and a good time was had by all.
Another story without a moral. A telephone call to a sorority produced the following conversation:

"Could she be at MONDAY dinner, today being Sunday?"
"I'm sorry, but Lucinda is at Sundav dinner."
the following conversation
"May I speak to Lucinda, please?"
The click at the other end of the line ended the conversation.

Rabbit Ear Mountain, in northeastern New Mexico, was named after a Cheyenne Indian chief, called Rabbit Ears because his ears had been frozen during a particularly severe winter in the 19th Century. The chief was killed in battle, and is buried on the mountain.
