LET’S SMILE “Yes, sir”, said the old man, “I’ll be 90 tomorrow and I haven’t an enemy in the world.” “A beautiful thought”, said a visitor. “Yes, sir”, continued the old man, “I’ve outlived them all.” ★ ★ ★ A man was shocked to read an item about his own death in the paper. He promptly called the newspaper.
