Try and Stop Me

By BENNETT CERF

A

PARK AVENUE physician, after examining a twitch-
ing, snarling, haggard businessman who had already
amassed ten million dollars, but was avidly seeking twenty
million more, advised, "I
want you from this mo-
ment on to work and
scheme only six hours a
day instead of 16, and
promise me that three
dhys a week you'll drive
out to the cemetery."
"The cemetery," exploded
the tycoon. "What for?"
"Just look around," said
the physician, "and meet
some of the chaps you're
going to have to compete
with to be the richest fool
9 1.0
there!"

RHYMES ON THE FLY:

L The devil sends the little winds
'To raise the skirts on high_
But the Lord is just, and sends the dust
To blind the wicked eye.

2. He trod on the corn of the belle at the ball,
And then, so the other girls tell,
Slumbering echoes were raised in the hall,
Because of the bawl of thebelle.
—Francis Duffy

E. Buffer the car with bumpers;
Shell it with bullet-proof steel;
And belt and hood; it's still no darn good
With an idiot at the wheel.
