"Me stole my television set, Judge," the elderly woman said.

The defendant, formerly the woman's boyfriend, told the judge she had given him the set as a gift - and, as proof, he emptied a large bag of clothing he said she had previously given him.

"Why would she give you these things free?" Katsufrakis asked.

"Sex" the man answered.

"Don't pay any attention to him," the woman yelped, "He's on pills.”

The judge ignored her and asked the man his age.

"I'm 73, but I am still going great in the area I mentioned."

Again the woman told the judge to "Pay no attention, he's on pills."

The judge looked at her severely.

"Please keep quiet, Madam," he said, "I just want to find out what kind of pills he's taking.”

THE MISSINC PILL WAS WORTH THE BILL.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - It was a common enough occurence: The plane landed safely in Charleston, the passengers alighted and made her way to the baggage counter only to find that her luggage had gone astray. The airline promised to find it. She went off to her hotel - annoyed.

At 11.30 p.m. the airport manager received a call from the lady who was inquiring, with some urgency, whether her luggage had been found.

It hadn't heen. She explained that it contained pills that had to be taken at once. The airport manager offered to get her medicine if she would tell him what it was. Then his report continued:

"She advised that it was birth control pills and they must be taken immediately and we would be responsible for any child born. She wanted to know if I would be willing to take the child if it was born. Advised her that if it was a girl would be more than happy to as I only had hoys."

The problem was solved when one pill was obtained. It cost the airline 20 cents plus $2 for cab fare to deliver it to the anxious passenger.

The airport manager's memo reporting this affair concluded. "With the world population explosion as it is, I feel each of us should do our part in helping to curb the birthrate. Surely the first thing that will help in this ts the prompt delivery of the passenger's luggage:"
