Musings of a Bachelor

Don’t kiss him with a snap; be coy about it. Don’t let him see the

practice you’ve had.

Woman spends much time in thinking what she would do were she a man,

while man spends much time knowing what he would do if he were a woman.

Some folk take pleasure in seeing that others have none.

A married man fell in a vat of moonshine mash and drowned, but the papers

said he died in good spirits.

Love is an itching of the heart—a place where you can’t scratch.

Girls, you can always tell if a man really loves you. If he says, “I love

you,” and drawls it out as if it hurt him, he’s silver plated goods.

If he says it as if he were ordering a glass of beer, that shows he is

sizing up your dad’s pocket book, but if he says “I love you,” and hugs

as if he’d never let go, and flushes up like a lobster, nail him; he’s it.
