he cleverness of this

50-year-old anecdote

from June 1968 has well and

truly stood the test of time.

From the

Archives

It was a Friday afternoon, and one of our friends gave little thought to

having his power mower borrowed by a neighbour, until he happened to

mention it to another neighbour. hen he discovered that this neighbour’s

mower had also been borrowed. Later, he was even more surprised to

learn that three more mowers had been loaned to the same man.

When the hoarder was pressed for an explanation, he assured the

men that all mowers would be returned bright and early Monday

morning. “his is one weekend,” he added with a grin, “that I intend

to sleep late – in peace.” SUBMITTED BY MARY M. KOWALCHIK

Using my smartphone to
demonstrate, I pointed out the
camera and said, “Other people
facing...”
hen I turned it around and said,
“Selie-facing.”
