Fun is the cheapest fisick that haz bin diskovered yet, and the eazyest
to take. Fun pills are sugar coated, and no change ov diet iz necessary
while taking them. A little fun will sumtimes go a grate ways, i hav
known men to liv to a good old age on one joke, which they managed to
tell az often az once a day, and do all the laffing themselves besides
that waz done. But thare iz lots ov pholks who kant see enny phun in
enny thing, yu couldn't fire a joke into them with a double barrell gun,
10 paces off, they go thru life az sollum az a cow. Menny people think
it iz beneath their dignity to relish a joke, sutch people are simply
fools, and dont seem to kno it. The Billings family are allwuss on the
lookout for fun, it iz sed ov Dexter Billings, one ov our pristines,
that he had to be kept under 500 dollar bonds all the time, to keep him
from laffing in church. Ackordin to all ackounts this Dexter Billings
waz a cuss. Fun iz the pepper and salt ov every day life, and all he
really wiz men who hav ever lived, hav used it freely for seazoning.
_HEAR YEE._
The man who kan set himself to work, at enny thing, on 5 minnitts
notiss, haz got one of the best trades i kno ov.
