Inadvertent Humor Department
The following excerpts came from letters received from applicants for welfare in the Northeast:
• I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children, I have, but one died which was baptized on a half of sheet of paper.
• I am writing the Welfare Department to say that my baby was born two years old. When do I get my money?
• Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and has been regularly visited by the clergy.
• I am forwarding my marriage certificate and three children, one of which is a mistake as you can see.
• I want my money as quick as I can get it. I've been in bed with the doctor for two weeks and he doesn't do me any good. If things don't improve, I will have to send for another doctor.
