Show Hawaiian Hews Item Stark catastrophe was narrowly averted last evening on the S. S. Manca when an elephant gun was forcibly taken from a slightly "lushed" gentleman passenger on the poop deck, just as the man was drawing a fine bead on Mr. Wallace Manning's head, which was outlined against the horizon in the dusk. The passenger (whose name was withheld) insisted that he was shooting a rare species of Ray fish, whose-gigantic flippers he could see waving in the breeze. Mr. Manning, locally known as "Dogears", did not press any charges against the passenger, but demanded an apology for his lady friend, who at the time had been with him in the bow of the liner. In a later statement, Manning admitted that he had been wiggling his ears for the benefit of his lady friend, but that such terminology as "waving" and "flippers" was damwell outrageous, and if he wasn't saving himself for the later games, he'd "shut up that satchel-faced, Bohemian slat-whacker with a good kick in the midst of his molars I" And it is still rumored that Emil "Pep" Henderson blushes if a doll muscles up to him and softly coos - "O. K., Pop, you can feel my tummy!" (Authentic exerpt from Island experiences.) And did his red corpuscles expand in embarrassment! DON'T RUB HIS FUR THE WRONG WAY! |
