Friday Funnies-Late Edition
Archivists,
Why I says to myself ruin these fine peoples' weekend by having Friday
Funnies on Friday when I can ruin their whole week by having Friday Funnies
on Monday? Having no good answer to whatever the question was we
join our hero (Rotund Richard AKA Dick The Archivist) as he visits New
York. Today we find Dick (having been invited to New York by the
American Women's Voluntary Services) speaking to an enthralled audience
of young military officers at the Open House for Officers (held every
day from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. at the Hotel Delmonico, 502 Park Avenue).
As we listen in we hear our HA (Heroic Archivist, 1st Class) telling our
fighting men about his adventures in the early west. "Why I remember
the time," he is saying, "that I went into a bar and saw the Lone Ranger
and Tonto drinking. A guy came in and yelled, 'Whose white horse
is that outside?' The Lone Ranger finished off his sarsaparilla,
slammed down the glass, turned around, and said, 'It's my horse.
Why do you want to know?' The guy looked at him and said, 'Well,
your horse is standing out there in the sun and he don't look to good.'
The Lone Ranger and Tonto ran outside and they saw that Silver was in bad
shape, suffering from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger moved his
horse into the shade and got a bucket of water. He then poured some
of the water over the horse and gave the rest to Silver to drink.
It was then that he noticed there wasn't a breeze so he asked Tonto if
he would start running around Silver, waving a blanket, to get some air
flowing and perhaps cool the horse down faster. Being a faithful
friend, Tonto started running around Silver waving the blanket. The
lone Ranger came back into the bar and ordered another drink. A short
time later a cowboy walked in and said, 'Whose white horse is that outside?'
Slowly the Lone Ranger turned around and said, 'That's my horse, what's
wrong with him now?' 'Nothing,' replied the cowboy, 'I just wanted
to let you know that you left your Injun running.'"
And that's how we won the Big One.
