Cold Remedy
A remedy for the common cold suggested by Dr. Richard Gordon, from the “Atlantic Monthly”:
At the first sign of a cold, go to bed with a bottle of whiskey and a hat. Place the hat on the left-hand bedpost. Take a drink of whiskey and move the hat to the right-hand bedpost. Take another drink and shift the hat back again. Continue this until you drink the whiskey but fail to move the hat.
By then, the cold is probably cured.

Demerit Point System Used by Women

Unusual State Laws

Willowdale, Oregon: It is illegal for husbands to curse during sex.
Oblong, Illinois: It is punishable by law to make love while hunting or fishing on your wedding day.
(Trust me if a man takes his wife fishing on their wedding day, he has an even bigger problem.)
Alexandria, Minnesota: No man is allowed to make love with the smell of garlic, onions, or sardines on his breath.
Ames, Iowa: A man cannot have more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with his wife, girlfriend, or significant other— or holding her in his arms.
Bozeman, Montana: Has a law banning all sexual activity between members of the opposite sex in the front yard of a home after sundown — if they are nude.
Newcastle, Wyoming: An ordinance specifically bans couples from having sex while standing inside a store’s walk-in-meat freezer.
Illinois: A state law mandates that all bachelors should be called “master,” not “mister,” when addressed by their female counterparts.
Norfolk, Virginia: A woman could not go out without wearing a corset. There was even a civil-service job, only for men, called “corset inspector.”
Merryville, Missouri: Women are prohibited from wearing corsets because the “privilege of admiring the curvaceous, unencumbered body of a young woman should not be denied to the normal, red-blooded American male.”
(This one either makes me want to stand up and scream, “Hallelujah!” or puke.)
Helena, Montana: Law mandates that a woman can’t dance on a table in a saloon or bar unless she has on at least three pounds, two ounces of clothing.
Carlsbad, New Mexico: It’s legal for couples to have sex in a parked vehicle during their lunch break, as long as the vehicle has curtains drawn to discourage peeping Toms.
Florida: State law says that if you are a single, divorced, or widowed woman, you can not parachute on Sunday afternoons.
Cleveland, Ohio: Women aren’t allowed to wear patent-leather shoes. A man might see the reflection of something “he oughtn’t.”
Tremont, Utah: No woman may have sex with a man while riding in an ambulance. If caught, the woman can be charged with a sexual misdemeanor and “her name is to be published in the local newspaper.” The man isn’t charged nor is his name revealed.
You Know You’re in New York City When…

4. The aroma of smoked meat is able to counteract the smell of smog and pollution.
5. The priest in the Cadillac behind you gives you the finger for cutting him off.

Tips For Moving South…Yee-Haw!
1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
2. If you forget a Southerner’s name, refer to him (or her) as “Bubba”. You have a 75% chance of being right.
3. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows.
4. If you do run your car into a ditch, don’t panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don’t try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
5. Don’t be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.
6. Do not buy food at the movie store.
7. If it can’t be fried in bacon grease, it ain’t worth cooking, let alone eating.
8. Remember: “Y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural. “All y’all’s” is plural possessive.
9. There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern accent, unless it is a southerner imitating a Boston accent.
10. Get used to hearing, “You ain’t from around here, are you?”
11. People walk slower here.
12. Don’t be worried that you don’t understand anyone. They don’t understand you either.
13. The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted Northerner’s vocabulary is the adjective “Big ol’”, as in “big ol’ truck” or “big ol’ boy”. Eighty-five percent begin their new southern influenced dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are in denial about it.
14. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
