The Anecdote Bin

DRY Chuckle Dept. A feature story, clipped from the Providence Journal by E. D. B., is headed: New Hollywood Fad--No Drinking and quotes a bartender as follows: "Everybody in town is either on the wagon or a two-drink limit." If you find this hard to believe, friends, just wait. The story continues with a statement by an unnamed male star who went to a clinic in Paris "to take the cure." Said he: "I now have such a repugnance to alcohol that I know I will never take another drink the rest of my life." Sorry--we couldn't resist putting that last line in italics.
