﻿And there you are fellow workers, way back there, see, rubbing elbows with Nebuchnadnezzar, Hittites Hammurabi and Hshur. (see ‘Willem Van Loon.)— 
“And Jerusalem is in ruins,” did you say? 
Hm. Don’t I know it? 

Daylight Saving Time (It came about this way): 
The farmers daughter handspiked the clock ahead one hour after supper so as to give the boy son the threshing rig an early start next morning. (Fair enough for she always handspiked the clock back one hour after breakfast) 
However when she went out after supper, to have a kind word with the visitting fireman, I got to thinking that if its good to handspike the clock ahead one hour, two hours would make it all the better. So I slipped in the cookear and shoved the clock ahead another hour… 
Brainy boys got wind of this and called it daylight saving time—one of my most popular inventions. However the boys pulled a strike next morning two hours before daylight and later, when I came prancing into the jungles with about a half a cord of firewood, one of those pusillanimous (mean spirited) headerbarge bosuns observed: 
“Slim is working on slum clearance.” (origin of slum clearance) You don’t get credit for anything anymore! 

Lawyers are intrenched in legislative halls because laws are numerous, contradictory and beyond the scope of human understanding; including lawyers’ And they make more [unclear] without knowing what they already have. Some of those laws are real antique and pertain to conditions that no longer exist, if they ever existed; if they were not directed against a peculiar isolated instance or presumption. Modernization and simplification of law is an imperative need. Altogether too much law for amount of calories in the cupboard.
