Ham on Wry

WE KNOW A TRASH COLLECTOR who fishes the empty bottles out of everybody's garbage, pours the few remaining drops from each bottle into one jug and finally builds up a hair-curling mixture that gets him crocked before the end of each day. This creates a distorted sense of humor which impelled him recently to make out a monthly bill for three new customers whom he addressed as "Three Old Maid Schoolteachers." The three gals quickly made out a check to him and signed it, "Three Old Maid Schoolteachers," thus proving that they know how to teach a lesson.
