Joe Smozy helps out an old Maid

Joe Smozy was walking around Manhattan's West side trying to keep1

his mind from thinking about how badly he needed a drink when an 2

old maid stopped him and said, 'Young man, could you mail this 3

letter for me? I forgot my sun glasses and I have a splitting 4

headache. '5

Always a gentleman, Joe replied, 'Yes dear lady, it would be an6

honor . I will mail it without fail.'7

After Joe mailed the old maid's letter he seen an engraving on the 8

sideof a Manhattan sky-scraper that read( REJOICE O YOUNG MAN IN 9

THY YOUTH) Joe went on his lonely way wondering what it meant. 10

Then he began to feel happy and wondered why.11

Here is how the old maid's letter read:12

Letter to the editor of N.Y. Times:13

Dea Sirs,14

Now when the growth economics of Capitalism's days are numbered,15

the Repubican Party is turning against Conservatism, its last best hope for survival, while American women have been pavloved into believing Nature wants them to have children when its most likely the social insecurities of their sub-conscious mind wanting to hide their unadmitted timities behind the socially recognized needs of their children. Nature is indifferent to man, and
doesn't really care if women have kids or not. 16

Yours truly, Louise17

(Poetry and stories about the lonely lives and deaths of old 18

maids, make for the highest and most socially redeeming forms of 19

literature.)20
