TIPPING THE SCALE!

         TIPPING THE SCALE!

         

   The way I heard it there was an earthquake

somewhere around here the other day. I didn't

feel anything. But it must have happened about

the time I was weighing myself because the

numbers suddenly went up!

    I point this out because this is Richter Scale

Day. I don't actually know what brand of scale

we have. But I suppose it could be a Richter!

    Oh. Wait a minute! My wife tells me Richter

is the guy who came up with the way we

measure earthquakes. And this is his Birthday!

I'll bet his parties really rocked the place!

     So I guess it has nothing to do with the

scale in my bathroom.

     Perhaps there's another explanation for its

sudden surge. You see it's also national

Pretzel Day. And that could have an impact

on my scale! I like pretzels! 

      I'd rather believe it was an earthquake!

      Hope you're celebrating one or the

other and that all your NEWS IS GOOD!
