CHRISTMAS SHOPPER Ponder the case of Poor Ole Dad who said, and I quote "Christmas shopping is . get it all done in a couple of hours." As you can see, Dad's expression comes under the heading of "famous last words.” Oh, he completed his shopping list, or rather most of it—but look at the shape he is in now. It took him all day, rather than a "couple of hours” because he decided to walk his feet off rather than have to make another trip. He felt pretty pleased about the whole thing (when he started home—that is,) until he ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. So busy thinking about the things he wanted to buy he just forgot Bessie refuses to run without fuel. He lost thirty minutes or so waiting for a gas station to send out some fuel from a nearby community, but that didn’t upset him very much. He didn’t really blow a fuse until he picked up a nail and a slow leak in one of Bessie's tires. But he got home—a tired but happy man, apparently. Mom, who believes in shopping at home where value and satisfaction are always guaranteed by the local merchant’s reputa- | tion, probably made the situation worse by remarking that practically every item on Dad’s list could have been bought here at home for the same price, or less. I guess that’s what made Dad j light up like the Christmas tree —it was a sure insinuation that j he wasn’t a very smart businessman and that blow at his pride j was just too much for a man with acbine feet. ■
