It is a great life if you don't weaken. The most deadly of all animals A Super Sheik or sheikess. One kiss, one love; one love, one marriage; one hell.

It must be great to get ironed out for a nickel.

Many married men get ironed out for less than that, and I don't mean maybe. Just think for a nickel you can get your shirt washed and ironed. Great ain't it? Then you won't have to stay in bed all the next day. They are going to put them in telephone booths, then you can get washed and talk to your girl at the same time. The only thing wrong about it, is that if there is a fat lady in the next booth to yours, you may get her things and she get yours.
