A man and his wife were the 4th and 5th people lined up at window #3 of the Seldom Trust Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first man at the window pulled out a .45 calibre automatic pistol and robbed the bank. He demanded the clerk to empty all the drawers into a bag he had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned to the number 2 man in line and asked \u201cDid you see me rob this bank?\u201d and the man stammered and said, \u201cyes, I did.\u201d And the robber shot him dead., and said aloud, \u201cI can\u2019t leave any witnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He turned to the third man in line and asked, \u201cDid you see me rob this bank?\u201d and when the man said \u201cyes, I did\u201d the robber shot him dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then he turned to the 4th man and asked, \u201cDid you see me rob this bank?\u201d  The number 4 man said, \u201cNo sir, but my wife here did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist for some arsenic. He asks, \u201cWhat for?\u201d She says, \u201cI want to kill my husband.\u201d  He says, \u201cSorry, I can\u2019t do that.\u201d She reaches into her handbag and pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the pharmacist\u2019s wife and hands it to him. He says, \u201cYou didn\u2019t tell me you had a prescription…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A French Canadian\u2019s Lament<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I hunt zee dog,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I hunt zee rat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I take my axe and go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m hunt zee skunk \u2013 pole cat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend Bill says he hear fur very good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And is very good to eat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tell my wife, I go and get fur coat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometime get some meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walk one, two, three, four miles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel one awful smell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that skunk had gone and died<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And zee fur coat gone to hell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get up very, very close<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I raise my axe up high<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That darned skunk, he up and plunk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throw something in my eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sacre Blu, I\u2019m blind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy smoke, I cannot see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I run round and round<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till I run into great big tree<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon I get very very mad<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I lite out for the shack<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think about a million skunk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He climbed upon my back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now when I get home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My wife, she sick on me the dog<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now when I get out to hog pen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy smoke, now what you think<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hog won\u2019t let me sleep in there <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of awful stink<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I don\u2019t hunt the skunk no more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get his fur and meat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For if his breath it smell so bad<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy smoke, what about his feet?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY 21?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago I wrote a column on the unfairness to our young folks under 21 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our federal government must figure a young man of 18 is a knowledgable adult as he is allowed to vote in any election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our federal government says he is allowed to enter any of the armed forces at the age of 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact if they need him, they will come and get him, not many questions asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the state of Ohio passed a bill that says Ohio young people can\u2019t smoke until they are 21 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law states that he has to be 21 to enter a VFD or some other lodges, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feds have said he is a smart, young man and can help run his country so why these other restrictions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See ya<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT I THINK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sitting here at my desk, Friday, August 9th and this is what I think.  Maybe you don\u2019t agree, but like I said, it is what I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these instances of people killing other people sort of use the same form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, some of them you could classify as \u201cme too\u201d jobs and use the same ideas to kill people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That job out in Colorado I think was mostly from those two boys being bullied, looked down on, they were not in the \u201cclick\u201d or the circle and they wanted to get even and to be recognized and we will never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the other killings followed the same pattern and I think reason, someone not being accepted by the other classmates and too much time to think of himself and he thinks no one to confide in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then some of the adult killers, some of them use the same pattern but a different weapon, like a truck or a car to kill with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think in that guy\u2019s brain and thinking it\u2019s about the same: hate, jealousy, get a little notoriety; I will get noticed from now on. In his head there is no courtesy, respect or care for anyone. Not even his parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the weapon, I think he already has one and he wants to use it. If not he won\u2019t have any trouble getting one, as long as he has a clean record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the early 1930\u2019s, John Dillinger needed weapons, so he broke into the police station in Auburn, IN and stole a lot of ammo, firearms and a bullet proof jacket. They will find a way to get those guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A NO NAME COLUMN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By; Stan Jordan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walter Lang, a retired school teacher, was in the office this morning (August 12),  and we talked about some old Sinclair gasoline stations in Antwerp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as I can remember, there was a Sinclair station on the southeast corner of Main and River Street. I know it was operated by Roy Miller, Bob McClaughlin, Lee Miller and some others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down on the corner of Erie Street and East Canal was a Sinclair station owned and operated by Lavon Carr. East on US 24 on the other side of the Zuber cutoff was a Sinclair station operated by H.C. Gordon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1930\u2019s there was a Sinclair station west on River Street by a man named Guy Long then in the middle 30\u2019s, Joe Ross bought the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred Dunderman had a Sinclair Distributorship up on Wilhelm Street by the railroad, but it wasn\u2019t a service station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were other gasoline stations here, maybe I will remember all of them. Gas was 6 gallons for $1.00. Here on the corner of US 24 and North Main, Hi-speed, Johnson, Pure Oil and Marathon and maybe some others. On the east side of South Main, Warren Seslar had a Texaco station plus the Park Station was Texaco. On North, Leinard\u2019s had a gasoline station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West on US 24 B.J. Kauffman had a gasoline station where now is the motel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On west on US 24 to the curve was The Road House, that was also a service station. There was an Enarco Station down on the corner of South Main and West Daggett Street, later on that was a Ford dealer. The Shell station came along later. In 1940 Charles Van Horn had a station, Blue Sunoco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cCup\u201d also sold gas, that came a little, so did the Sohio station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See ya!
