A boy stood with one foot on the sidewalk and the other on the step of a Ford automobile. A playmate passed him, looked at his position, then sang out: “Hey, Bobbie, have you lost your other skate?”
A farmer noticing a man in automobile garb standing in the road and gazing upward, asked him if he were watching the birds.
“No,” he answered, “I was cranking my Ford car and my hand slipped off and the thing got away and went straight up in the air.”
