A visiting Englishman was being given a tour of some of the finer older homes in Baltimore. After about a half-hour, he said, "My word ! What hideous architecture. Whatever is it ?"

"Well.." his host replied, "it's known as Victorian."

I was telling Bruno, a Texan friend of mine, about a fish I had almost caught off Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Bruno listened skeptically for a while, then said, "About the size of a whale, was it ?"

I said, "Hell man !   I was baiting with whales !!!"

Y'all may remember my neighbor Babette, who can be as acid-tongued as I when dealing with the Yuppie set.

Once at a fund raiser in Columbia Maryland, she was approached by a Yuppette who said, "So glad to see you. You're the first person I've seen tonite worth talking to. These people are so boring."

Babette looked at her and replied, "I must say -- you're far more fortunate than I."

Got another "fan letter" this week. The lady was amazed at the volume of material I churn out. I wrote back and said, "Well yes, but I wonder if the people on the list will still love me when I can't think of any more funny jokes."

Her reply, back within minutes, said, "Of course we do !"

Skirted disaster this week with Mrs JimJr. I made the comment that she had changed a lot since we were first married.

She frowned and said, "That's a little ambiguous -- for better or for worse ?"

Thankfully I was able to fashion an acceptable reply by saying, "Why, you could only change for the better of course."

(Went right over her head. Yes, I do enjoy living dangerously)
