Melton
There are quite a few people
in Griffin who subscribe to
Mildred Seydeli’s “The Think
Tank’’ and they get a lot of
kick out of this splendid little
monthly magazine. Mildred,
who has often visited here and
who has spoken to several civic
clubs. has many friends in
Griffin who appreciate her not
only for her friendly character
istics but also for her sparkling
wit:
One of (he most interesting
features of her magazine is the
two page spread headed “Bub
bles from the Think Tank.”
Mildred mixes up poetry and
prose on these pages and every
item brings a grin, a chortle,
or a loud* laugh. For instance
in the November issue we find:
Her eyes were black as jet. !
This charming girl I knew;
I kissed her, then her hus
band came,
Now mine are jet black, too.
i
“Bubbles from the Think
Tank” defines a “flirt” as a
hit-and-run lover.
And a “cunic” as the man
who said of fiis wife “At the
end of the evening she was so 1
tired she couldn’t keep her
mouiji open.”
And the definition of "gov- i
ernment by check and balan
ces” as “when the government
gets your check your balance
disappears.” j
And explaining what adver
tising is "Bubbles” says “It is I
the picture of a pretty girl
rrting, wearing, holding or
driving something somebody
wants to sell.
+
More random selections from
“Bubbles" include:
The way of a maid with a
man is ‘way behind the way of
a widow with one.
He: “I wonder if I could
make you melt in my arms.”
She: “No, I’m not that soft
and you’re not that hot.”
It's the fresh egg that gets
slapped in the pan.
Mary had a little lime,
And quite a lot of grin,
And everywhere that Mary
went
She didn’t know where she’d
been.
Bonds of matrimony are
worthless unless the interest
is kept up. -
Soldier: What shape is a
kiss?”
Girl: “I don't know.”

and we’ll call it square."
