Wet and Fishy. This fishing story is vouched for by O. J. Leighton, who used to conduct an “Anglers’ Guide” session on the Sydney radio. A fisherman caught a grey nurse which is a type of large shark. When it was hoisted aboard a considerable bulge was noticed in its stomach. It was found to be caused by a crate containing eight unbroken bottles of beer.

Story from U.S.A,

It is estimated that 900 million dol-

lars is spent by Americans every year for the dry cleaning and pressing of clothes. Moreover —horrible though! —15,000 tons of soil are removed from the garments. That’s a pretty dirty story!
