BIG LIPS , „
Q. Which has bigger lips? — the
Sutue of Ubcrty of a hippopotamus?
A. Sutue, three feet wide. A hippo’s
lips are only two feel wide.
A. Caim was another word for rock
pile in old Scotland, and that dog origi-
nally was bred to hunt rodents in rock
piles.
There’s a scientific explanation of
why a heron stands so much of the
time on one leg: to rest the other.
“Worst thing infidelity docs is make
it impossible to ulk honestly with the
one you love.” Our Love and War man
couldn’t find anyone who said that, so
he said it himself, and filed it.
STAMPS
Q, How many Philippines postage
stamps have Ferdinand and Imelda
Marcos appeared on?
A. He. eight She four.
LAST SUPPER
When Leonardo da Vinci painted
“The Last Supper,” hardly anybody
thought it was worth a hoot.
When Great Britain got its first
escalator in 1911 — in Earls Court —
denizens thereabouts were scared of it.
So those empowered hired one
Bumper Harry to ride up and down on
it all day to promote public confi-
dence. Bumper had a wood leg.
People gesture as they talk for two
reasons: The lesser, to punctuate what
they’re saying. The greater, to reassure
themselves that they’re still alive and
vivid. They touch their chins, elbows,
ears, knuckles, cheeks. So says a
psychologist, who claims, also, the
conversation gesture isn’t learned. It
fills an inherent need. Those blind
from birth do it, too.
Soviet diplomats at the United
Nations won the 1988 traffic ticket
competition. Their cars got 4,072 cita-
tions, the no-pay variety picked up by
the legally immune. More than any
other country’s.
True, the Chinese invented wall-
paper, but they didn’t know it. Was
just decorative paper. Took the Euro
pcans to plaster it all over the walls.
Q. Why is the caim terrier called
that?
You can mend cracked egg shells
with cellophane tape. Pigeon breeders
do that.

House majority, which they haven’t in 1988.
By The Associated Press
Today is Thursday, March 30, the
89th day of 1989. There are 276 days
left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history:
On March 30,1867, U.S. Secretary
of State William H. Seward reached
agreement with Russia to purchase the
territory of Alaska for $7.2 million.
The deal was roundly ridiculed in the
United States “Seward’s Folly.”
On this date:
In 1822, Florida became a U.S.
tCIbi<lW2, Dr. Crawford W. Long of
Jefferson, Ga., first used ether as an
anesthetic during a minor operation.
In 1858, Hyman L. Lipman of
Philadelphia patented a pencil with an
attached eraser.
In 1870, the 15th amendment to the
Constitution, giving black men the
right to vote, was declared in effect.
In 1870, Texas was readmitted to
the Union.
In 1909, the Queensboro Bndge
opened, linking the New York City
boroughs of Manhattan and Queens.
In 1945, the Soviet Union invaded
Austria during World War II.
In 1964, John Glenn withdrew from
the Ohio race for U.S. Senate because
of injuries suffered in a fall.
In 1973, Ellsworth Bunker resigned
as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam,
and was succeeded by Graham A.
Martin.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan
und three other men were shot and
wounded by John W. Hinckley Jr.
outside a Washington hotel.
In 1982, the space shuttle “Colum-
bia” ended its third test flight with a
smooth landing at White Sands
Missile Range in New Mexico with
astronauts Jack R. Lousma and C.
Gordon Fullerton aboard.
In 1986, actor James Cagney died at
his farm in Stanfordville, N.Y., at age
86.
In 1987, the movie “Platoon” won
four Academy Awards, including Best
Picture of 1986. Paul Newman was
named Best Actor for "The Color of
Money,” and Marlee Matlin was
named Best Actress for “Children of a
Lesser God.”
Ten years ago: Pennsylvania Gov.
Dick Thornburgh advised pregnant
women and young children within five
miles of the Three Mile Island nuclear
power plant to leave as the crippled
Unit Two reactor continued to leak
radioactivity.
Five years ago: President Ronald
Reagan formally ended the U.S. role in
the multinational peacekeeping force
in Lebanon, but said in a report to
Congress that the United States had
not “abandoned” the Lebanese.
One year ago: An attorney for the
Rev. Jimmy Swaggart said the tele-
vangelist would return to the pulpit
May 22, defying national Assemblies
of God church officials who had
suspended him for at least a year,
citing Swaggart’s “moral failure.”
Today’s birthdays: Singer Frankie
Laine is 76. Former National Security
Adviser McGeorge Bundy is 70. Actor
John Ailin is 59. TV personality Peter
Marshall is 59. Actor Warren Beatty is
52. Singer Eric Clapton is 44.
Thought for today: “A true history
of human events would show that a far
larger proportion of our acts are the
results of sudden impulses and acci-
dent, than of that reason of which we
so much boast.” — Peter Cooper,
American businessman and philan-
thropist (1791-1883).
