J. P. McEvoy, covering a big
story, was rooming with a cor-
respondent who kept him awake
by moaning and tossing in his
bed. "Whassa matter ?" de-
manded McEvoy. "I promised
to pay the INS man next door
the hundred dollars I owe him
first thing in the morning." ex-
plained the roommate, "and I
haven't got it."
McEvoy went to the window
and hollered, "Hey, Considine, wake up." Considine appeared rub-
bing his eyes and grumbled. "What's up 7" McEvoy explained. "I
just want to tell you my friend here can't pay you that $100 tomor-
row. He hasn't got it." Then he shut the window and 'said, "Go to
sleep, pal. Now Considine can worry."

Have you heard about the gullible collector who paid a fortune:
for an ancient Egyptian coin ? In fact, it was so ancient, he boasted
that the date, clearly decipherable, read "169 B. C."
