LAST WEEK 1 spoke about
Halloween and my bah-humbug
attitude toward it. I failed, how-
ever, to mention how badly I
felt about not complimenting
the rabbit who waited on me at
First Eastern Bank last Friday.
She and the Playboy bunny
and the softball player and the
college graduate all looked very
nice in their costumes, but I just
couldn’t get into the Halloween
spirit so I never even told any of
them how nice they looked.
I simply stood at the teller’s
window and ‘allowed this rabbit
to make my banking transac-
tion, all the time acting as if
nothing was different than any
other time I go to the bank -
because to me, Halloween is
just another day of the week.
SPEAKING OF HALLOW-
EEN, there is one gentleman in
the Back Mountain who will
never, ever forget the time his
wife talked him into dressing up
and visiting the neighbors.
Withholding names to protect
the innocent — or guilty as this
case may be — rumor has it
this guy will never go trick-or-
treating again as long as he
lives.
A few years ago, this man’s
wife talked him into dressing up
as a woman while she dressed
up as his male companion. The
couple gathered all kinds of
clothing belonging to each other
and really conjured up some
pretty unbelievable costumes.
After a few hours of prancing
around the neighborhood, incit-
ing howls of laughter from their

—MARTIN _
friends, the couple decided they
had had enough and went home.
The man, who was on call for
his place of employment, was
called out to work and asked to
report as soon as possible. He
hurried as quickly as he could,
slipping on a pair of jeans and a
shirt and rushing off to work.
It wasn’t until several hours
later when he went into the
men’s room did he realize he
had forgotten to take off the
pantyhose from his costume.
Thank God (for him), he was
alone. However, just to be on
the safe side, he has vowed
never to let his lovely wife talk
him into anything like that
again.

JACK ROBBINS of Dallas
would like to thank two Harveys
Lake gentlemen for their hon-
esty and their consideration —
and for saving him a great big
headache.
Seems Jack, when leaving his
house in Dallas to go to his auto
body repair shop in West Wyo-
ming one day last week, set a
money bag on top of his car and
drove off, forgetting the bag
was there.
Seeing something fly past the
window, Jack told his daughter,
who was with him, that he had
just hit a bird. However, when
he opened the shop that morn-
ing and couldn’t find the money
bag, he suddenly realized that
was no bird that had flown past
his window.
Racing back to Pioneer
Avenue where he remembers
losing the bag, Jack combed the
area upside down when he got
there. After having no luck, he
returned to his house and took a

phone call from one of the guys
at his shop who told him he
should report to the business as
soon as possible.
When he got to the shop, much
to his amazement, there was
Mark Linsinbigler and Doug
DeVore, both of Harveys Lake
— with Jack’s money bag. The
guys found the bag and took it
directly to Jack’s shop, knowing
upset when he discovered it
missing.
Needless to say, the story has
a happy ending — and is a nice
relief from some of the less
fortunate news we hear about
today.
